The famous competitive ITER “Jaws” Chestnut regained his title on Friday in the famous Nathan competition on July 4, Hawt Dog after skipping the Battle of Voluntary last year in New York to attend the desired mustard belt.
Chestnut, 41 years old, 70 1/2 hot dogs and cakes in 10 minutes, consumed less than his 2021 record of 76 wieners and cakes. The seventeenth victory in 20 games with Westfield, Indiana, is eating in the International TV competition, which missed last year due to a contract dispute.
“I hope to eat another couple,” said a chestnut smiling for the crowd. “Sorry, comrades. I will return next year.”
Mickey Sudo from Tamba, Florida, the defense champion in the Women’s Department, won its eleventh title, below 33 dogs, and the best competitors. Last year, it ate a record of 51 links. It was also an apology for her performance.
“I feel a little bit of fans,” Sudo told ESPN. “I heard people in the crowd say,” Go to 52. “It is clear, I always aim my goals, but the hot dogs were not cooperating.
It turned out that a large crowd, overcoming the hot foam caps of dogs, has seen the annual eating witnesses, which were erected outside the famous Nathan Restaurant in Kony Island, Brooklyn, since 1972. Many fans came to see the long -awaited chestnut return.
Chestnut outperformed 14 competitors from all over the United States and the world, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Ontario, England and Brazil. Last year, Patrick Bartolti of Chicago ranked second after he threw 46 1/2 of hot dogs and cakes, after 58 eaten to win the title of men 2024.
“I would like to be here,” Kusta told ESPN after his victory. “Once I discovered that I was coming, my body – it was easy to train. I like to do this. I like to pay myself and hit people from people.”
Last year, George Xia, the organizer of the main eating events in the league, said that chestnut would not participate in the competition due to a contract dispute. Chestnut concluded a deal with a competitive brand, a meat -based meat company.
The Associated Press Chestnte told him that he had never been unprecedented in any commercial advertisements for the company’s hot dogs and that Nathan is the only company Hot Dog with it. But chestnut admitted that “he should have made it clear more with Nathan.”
Last year, chestnuts ate 57 dogs – in just five minutes – in an exhibition with soldiers in Fort Place in El Passo, Texas. He said that the event was “amazing” and that it was pleased to have an opportunity to eat hot dogs – many of them – on the fourth of July.
“I am happy because I did that, but I am really happy to return to Kony Island,” he said.
