BBC: German YouTuber retains cheese roll champion title. “A German YouTuber has retained his title as a Gloucestershire cheese rolling champion for the third year in a row. Tom Kopke, known online as Tooleko, beat local competitor and Guinness World Record holder Chris Anderson in the first race of the annual event on Cooper’s Hill in Brockworth.”

The winner of the men's downhill race in the annual cheese-rolling contest in Gloucestershire, U.K., is a German YouTuber called Tom Kopke. It's a third consecutive win for the 24-year-old known online as Tooleko, who will take home a wheel of Double Gloucester. The first written record of cheese rolling dates back to 1830, but the tradition is believed to date back centuries, to a heathen spring festival. Nowadays, the event is classed as an extreme sport. Here's more from @BBCNews.
