Painful Sports Video: U.S. Olympic Runner Runs 5-Minute Mile … While Chugging Beers

From our friends at TMZ:

U.S. Olympic track star Nick Symmonds just ran a mile in 5:15 … which isn’t very impressive … until you realize he chugged 4 BEERS along the way.

Symmonds was gunning for the world record in something called the “Beer Mile” … which requires athletes to chug an entire “full-sized” brewski at the beginning of the race … and another full can of suds at every quarter-mile mark along the way.

28-year-old Symmonds — who finished 5th in the 800m race at the Olympics in London — was hoping to break the world record, 5:09, set by Canadian marathon legend Jim Finalyson.

So, Tuesday in Oregon … armed with a case of Coors … Nick chased after the record, with a crowd of friends cheering on along the way … but despite his best effort, Symmonds came up 6 seconds short.

Still, Nick tells TMZ he won’t give up his dream … and plans to continue his training in hopes of winning the title some time in the near future.

SC Cops Looking for Inept Golf Cart Thief

If you live in theDumbass Category Logo Spartanburg, SC area, smoke cigarettes, drink a lot of beer and don’t know how to drive a golf cart up a hill . . . the police would like to have a word with you.

On the negative side, none of the stolen golf carts in this story ended up in a body of water (the arch-enemy of golf carts) but it sure sounds like one might have with a few more beers.

Here’s more on the story from WYFF:

Deputies said that the attempted theft took place overnight Saturday at The Country Club of Spartanburg. Three gold carts were taken from an equipment storage area by someone who then tried to drive them, one at a time, across a very steep area, deputies said.

Deputies said the first golf cart taken became stuck against a tree on the side of a ravine. The second golf cart was found tipped over on its side on the opposite side of the ravine, with the third overturned nearby.

Investigators said they found empty beer cans and a cigarette butt near the golf carts.
