Joey 'Jaws' Chestnut reclaimed his title at the Nathan's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest by consuming 70 1/2 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes. This marks his 17th win in 20 appearances. Miki Sudo won the women's division by eating 33 hot dogs, securing her 11th title. A large crowd attended the event in Coney Island, celebrating Chestnut's return. Chestnut expressed his love for the competition and commitment to return next year, while Sudo felt she did not meet her fans' expectations this time.
I wish I ate a couple more. Sorry guys,” a smiling Chestnut told the crowd, many chanting his name. “I'll be back next year.
I feel like I let the fans down a little bit. I heard people in the crowd saying, 'Go for 52,'” Sudo told ESPN. “For some reason, the buns felt larger today.
As soon as I found out I was coming, my body - it was easy to train. I love doing it.
Chestnut bested 14 fellow competitors from across the U.S. and the world, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Ontario, England and Brazil.
