Nerdist, spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat, the human drama of athletic competition*, hereby presents coverage of the 2012 Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake in Gloucestershire, England on Monday:

That’s from Small World News Service. Here’s additional coverage from LiveLeak:

Because it’s cheese. And it’s rolling. And it’s people rolling after the cheese. Kinda puts the Stanley Cup to shame, doesn’t it? Okay, not at all, but then again, I’m a bitter Flyers fan.

And you thought the Queen’s Jubilee was the only big event in the U.K. this week.
