An adventurous Nanaimo teenager wowed onlookers and her family when she claimed a wild world title in England on Monday.
Posted: May 29, 2023 5:50PMExploring Europe with a backpack and good friend Monday, 19-year-old Delaney Irving of Nanaimo decided to throw caution aside and make a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
She had decided overnight Sunday not just to watch the world-famous Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling Race but to compete in it. “Right away, my adrenaline kicked in, I decided I’m gonna do this, I’m going to try to go as fast as I can,” said Irving.“I remember falling, hitting my head and then waking up in the medical tent … and the cheese was on my lap, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is crazy,'” said Irving.
“Then when we got more information, we’re like, ‘No, she actually did win, this is her,'” said Irving’s uncle, Ray, in Nanaimo.
