Kenny Rackers: American Cheese Racer

In times of strife, a new hero must emerge.

An American daredevil defied health and safety warnings to win an annual Cheese Rolling competition in the UK yesterday.

"USA one in a million, right here!"

Kenny Rackers, 27, travelled more than 4,000 miles from Colorado Springs to a steep hill in Gloucestershire to take part in the world-famous event.

The estate agent, who wore a US stars and stripes morph suit, had travelled to the UK to compete in the race having seen previous events on the television.

He looks like quite the character:

He's even making a documentary, called One In A Million.
