A fearless teenager knocked himself out to win a race at the annual cheese-chasing competition.
(. . .)
Jason Crowther, from Pembrokeshire, West Wales, won the race for the second successive year.

The mud-covered but delighted 24-year-old said: "I have no real tactic I just ran and hoped for the best. I`m going to take my cheese to the pub and have a party".
(. . .)
One of the injured people treated by St John`s Ambulance volunteers was a spectator who was struck by a runaway cheese as it careered into the crowd.

Jim Jones, the charity`s operations training manager, said 12 spectators and 13 competitors had been injured during the event.

"It was quite a reasonable year, not too bad at all," he said. "We usually average around 30-40 people who need treatment. The most serious injuries this year appear to be a dislocated finger and a possible fractured ankle."
