Seeking Historical results
editHi this is James McMahon, I would like to add a more comprehensive results history from as early as possible. can anyone suggest where to obtain historical results if ever they have been published? email me at jimmcmahon2013@gmail.com
It has been 6 years since I posted this request, and not had a single email from anyone. however, the book 'Cheese Rolling in Gloucestershire' by Jean Jefferies , was absolutely more than I could wish for to use as a reference. A top book. I have now referenced Hugh Atkinsons 5 victories in the 1950's.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 01:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Stephen Gyde's record
editA few points in the article, it's said that Stephen Gyde has 21 wins, but there are only 20 wins listed. Is someone exaggerating on their résumè? IJVin (talk) 20:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
IJVin, Your attention to detail is good, going that extra yard to research credibility of the facts. You will notice a gap of 20 years in the results table between 1977 and 1957, presumably his missing win should be amongst those 2 decades of results, which need to be added at some point.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 08:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Incorrect world record?
editIn the notes of the 2023 winners it says that Cooper Cummings sets the record at 13 seconds whenever its been done faster than that in the past (For example Chris Anderson's 11 second run in 2006: https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxdccrmrow58xpr982J7D3FrKrYx9-J8Hd).
I know its stated on the Guinness world record webstie that Cooper has the record but Guiness world records are known to be unreliable Lukeshaun (talk) 02:40, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Lukeshaun: we can only reprint what is in reliable sources, unfortunately. If sources say that's the record, that's what we print, although I will acknowledge that "world records" are not always the fastest/best/biggest, but they should at least have a method that can ensure the results are reliable.
