For hundreds of years, one remote hill in the middle of England has hosted one of the weirdest and most hazardous festivals in the world. It’s the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling Festival. The event is held every year at the end of May. Some people believe that the festival originated from a tradition of rolling burning bundles ofsticks down the hill to celebrate the end of winter. Today, the festival has
grown into an international event, with over 15,000 participants
and spectators from all over the world joining each year.
The rules are simple. A large wheel of cheese is rolled down the
hill, and participants chase after it. The first runner to make it to
the bottom of the hill is the winner. The winner of the race is
allowed to keep the cheese as a prize.
Cooper’s Hill is only 200 meters long, but it is very steep. As a
result, racers do not run down the hill; instead, they usually fall
down the hill head over heels. This has led to a lot of accidents. For this reason, the event was officially
canceled in 2010. Outraged fans have continued the event unofficially since then.

Cheese rolling is one of the simplest sports. They roll a big round piece of cheese from the top of a hill and competitors chase after it. The first person to cross the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins (the cheese of course).
Very few people can catch the rolling cheese because it can travel up to 112km an hour.

Toe wrestling is a popular sport for children. Two children lock their toes together and try to force the other's foot to the ground. There is even the World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first started in Derbyshire, UK in 1976.
