Drunkard attempts to swim his way into McDonald’s

They’re calling it the McDonald’s Swimming Olympics

| UPDATED

A pioneering Nottingham student has waded his way into East Midlands folklore – after successfully SWIMMING into McDonald’s.

The brave man front-crawled through the doorway and looked set to claim the first gold of the 2014 McDonald’s Swimming Olympics before he was cruelly run out of the restaurant.

After a daring mid-race switch to breaststroke, the unnamed athlete was forced to retreat from the student-packed Maccies – despite not even claiming his free cheeseburger.

George Miller, who filmed the clip, said: “One minute I was getting loose as a goose with the chaps at Market Bar, and the next thing I know I’m in the middle of the bloody McDonald’s Swimming Olympics!”
