>Cheese Rolling: Interview with the injured 'Stuart Anderson'

We caught up with Stuart Anderson who broke his ankle at the "Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake" and we asked him a few questions...

The interview...

	Have you run in the Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake event previously? "No."
	What happened on your run this year? "I broke my friggin ankle - twice."
	Hmmm... your right ankle is broken on both sides... how did they repair it? "One plate with 9 screws."
	Do you have any tips or advice to pass on to someone who is thinking of taking part in this event? "Stay upright, or at least fall a lot better than I did. I think I should have taken your advice on rolling sideways instead of head over heels but hindsights always 20-20."
	Would you run in the "Cooper Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake" again? "Probably not I've done it once and I've got other stupid things to do."

Age:	28
Home:	London, England
Other sports:	Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Martial Arts (but not at the moment)
Previous injuries?	Fell off a tower in York to get a plate in my other ankle ( while being a drunken student)

The next Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling is scheduled to take place on 25 May 2009 starting at noon.
