Joey Chestnut reclaimed his title at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York by eating 70.5 hot dogs within 10 minutes. At 41 years old, Chestnut achieved his 17th win, although he did not break his previous record of 76 hot dogs. His performance was notable for a strong start, consuming 10 hot dogs within the first minute. Miki Sudo also claimed victory in the women's division, consuming 33 hot dogs. Chestnut expressed a desire to improve in the future.
"Man, I wish I ate a couple more," Chestnut said on ESPN about his performance which was his second best in 20 Nathan's competitions. "I will be back next year."
Chestnut, whose nickname is 'Jaws,' failed to surpass his record of 76 in 2023 though he consumed 50% more than his second-place finisher.
Miki Sudo, 39, of Tampa, Fla., and previously New York, earned the women's title for the 11th time, eating 33 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Early on he was on a record pace for the first three minutes, starting out with 10 after 60 seconds. After five minutes, he consumed 46.
