Many thanks to the game Cheese Rolling and my good friend Larsen for suggesting we play it after discovering that Steam Play Together is laggy - play it for yourself here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3809440/Cheese_Rolling/
And do yourself a favor and click the links in [the poem](26-06-03-cheese rolling). My personal favorite quote in there is:
Anderson believes that the secret to winning the cheese rolling is to stay on your feet and not fall over. However, footage of him winning the cheese rolling for a record 21st time reveals that he does in fact fall over, but has a particular talent for getting up swiftly, propelling himself down the hill in a single seamless movement while fallers behind roll multiple times before coming to a stop.
Some other fun links to check out include these two videos, one by the winner of last year’s cheese race, and the other by a man who attempted to cheat by hiring professional stuntmen to switch places with him once the race was complete (and risked crushing his ribcage in the process), and the LinkedIn page for Abby Lampe, the two time women’s winner of the event, where her tagline reads: “IMD MBA 2025 | Consulting | 2x Cheese Rolling Champion”
