Daredevils have thrown themselves down a steep hill in the annual death-defying Cheese Rolling Race.
Brave competitors sprinted, tripped and tumbled down Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire to try and win the 8lb Double Gloucester.
The recent dry weather had made then racetrack hard and even faster for the competitors who were cheered on by thousands of spectators.
The winner of the first men's downhill race was Max McDougall, 22, from Brockworth, who won for the first time as champion cheese chaser Chris Anderson, 31, who has the record of 22 wins over the past 15 years did not compete as he was on holiday.
Last year Mr Anderson broke the record held by Stephen Gyde after winning the first of three men's downhill races.
