Hi! Welcome to my new blog! It is all about the FUNNIEST sport ever- The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake
- What is the sport?
It is a sport in which many people chase an almost circle of Double Gloucester cheese down Cooper's hill, which is VERY steep! It's almost impossible to stay on your feet for it.
- How is it played?
The Battle cry
One to be ready
Two to be steady
Three to prepare
(The cheese is released at the word ‘three’)
The person to catch the cheese is the winner, and if no one catches it, the first to the bottom of the hill wins!
And Four to be off.
- Where is it played?
On Cooper's hill, in the British Isles.
- When did it first appear? What is the history of the sport?
It first appeared over 200 years ago, and is played in a large competition once a year. Also, many people that live there play it a lot, no matter how dangerous.
- Why are you interested in it? Why do you think other people should be as well?
I think that it is a funny sport to begin with, racing down a hill- but the cheese is what made me decide to write about it. Though I wouldn't try it, it is funny to watch.
