Unbelievable! This Guy's Dominance in This Weird Sport Is Unprecedented!
by Alan Iverson in SportsCorey Bellemore, a 30-year-old Canadian, has achieved an extraordinary level of dominance in the beer mile, a sport that involves drinking four beers while running a mile. He has won the Beer Mile World Classic for five consecutive years, a feat unmatched in the event's history. The rules are simple: drink a beer, run a lap (400m), repeat three times. Vomiting results in an extra lap. Bellemore's success stems from a natural ability to quickly consume liquids, honed since childhood. At the 2023 World Classic in Portugal, he broke his own world record, clocking 4 minutes 27.1 seconds, despite losing a shoe early in the race. His journey started unexpectedly in 2016, when a casual attempt led to an invitation to the World Classic, which he won. While he didn't compete in 2017 and lost in 2018 due to a technicality, he's been undefeated since 2019. Bellemore holds world records for the beer mile using both canned and bottled beer, and even the non-alcoholic version. Despite his achievements, he remains humble and avoids the spotlight, focusing on the athletic aspect of the sport and preparing for a professional triathlon career later this year. He acknowledges concerns about the health implications but emphasizes his infrequent participation and the positive experiences it has brought him.
