Beer Mile world record holder disqualified for not drinking enough beer

Earlier this month, a man named Corey Bellemore did an unbelievable thing: He participated in the Beer Mile World Classic in Vancouver, Canada, and broke a world record, completing the race in an astounding 4 minutes and 24.4 seconds. But this is not a happy story. The Beer Mile World Classic in has strict rules to prevent just anyone with a beer gut and fondness for 12-packs from joining the pack. One of those rules is that each runner must completely chug four 12-ounce beers throughout the entire race, which is four laps around a track. Chug a beer, then do a lap, chug a beer, then do a lap and onward. Bellemore, however, failed to drink enough beer. When officials checked, they found he'd left 4.5 ounces of beer behind and his record-setting time was disqualified.To add insult to injury, Bellemore's record-beating time had beaten a record he previously held, 4 minutes, 33 seconds, according to Runner's World. First place was awarded to a fellow named Dale Clutterbuck, drinking Molson Canadian, who ran the mile in 4 minutes, 50 seconds, which is still an insane mile-and-beer time. The race, which you can watch here, features athletic prowess, amazing commentary, and, as a warning, a guy puking.Bellemore, who is a professional Canadian track and field runner, tweeted after the race, "Never rush through life. Better luck next time!" Is this the best sport ever?No matter the results (and no matter how much beer was wasted), what Bellemore did is still impressive, as is what Clutterbuck achieved. Think on that the next time you trudge to the fridge for another round.
