Earlier today in Australia, Josh Harris supposedly ran a 4:56.2 beer mile which if ratified would have broken James Nielsen's existing world record of 4:57.0 and tied a possible pending world record of 4:56.2.
Now the organizers of the Beer Mile World Classic have reported that Lewis Kent in Toronto has texted them saying he broke Harris's record running 4:55.78 in Canada.

Both guys will square off vs James Nielsen at the Beer Mile World Classic in 2 weeks time so we won't have to wait long to see who is the best.
