Cheese rolling 2009
Blood, sweat, tears and nudity ... the annual Cheese Rolling festival at Cooper's Hill, UK, kicks off.

Unprotected... a naked man chases the cheese as it races away from competitors. The first written evidence of the Cheese Rolling event dates from 1826, but the tradition was established long before, perhaps as a Pagan harvest ritual / AP
Rolling down the hill.... competitors run, or rather roll, down Coopers Hill in pursuit of the cheese. The race involves hordes of fearless competitors chasing a 3.5kg Double Gloucester cheese down a death-defyingly-steep hill / AFP
Slippery slope... the slope has a gradient in places of 1-in-2 and in others 1-in-1, its surface is very rough and uneven and it is almost impossible to remain on foot for the descent / AFP
Ouch... a competitor falls as he runs down Coopers Hill in pursuit of the cheese / AFP
Down they come... rolling down the hill / AFP
Another injury... a competitor falls as he run's down a hill /AFP
Taken away... an injured competitor is lowered down Coopers Hill after falling during the race / AFP
Carry on... competitors race up a hill / AFP
Score... ladies race winner Michelle Kokiri from New Zealand holds up her cheese prize / AP
