Contestant in cheese rolling is knocked unconscious but comes out on top

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Injuries are common. And this year, Delaney Irving of Canada was knocked unconscious. After waking up in the medical tent, Delaney learned that she'd won the women's race. Thankfully, she's OK and says the race was a great experience, what she can remember of it anyway.
