New World Record!!! Joey Chesnut eats 75 hot dogs + buns. Miki Sudo would have actually placed second in the men’s competition today.

What exactly is the world record? I mean, eating 75 hot dogs + buns in .... minutes?

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

That is quite a pace.

Chestnut began around 12 hot dogs per minute, but then slowed to 8 hot dogs per minute by the end.

There was a sports science episode made a while back on the anatomy, physical demand, and mental strength involved in competitive eating, and it was fascinating.

Yeah like Gal Sone whose stomach has a bigger connection to the intestines, apparently it is a genetic stuff in her family.

How many damages? It's not like they eat dozens of hotdogs at a time every day :p 

 

Quite often competitive eaters live like athletes. Which is why people are often surprised to find out they often aren't fat...at all. They get a huge amount of calories once every X weeks, but save some calories in between by dieting and training so that overall, they stay fit.

do you think you can eat 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes without "training"? :coffee:

 

and not only that...because they regularly compete in this kind of contests almost every weekend...it's basically a full time job for the most famous "eaters"...

 

so, yes...they do a lot of damages to themselves...either because they become obese as they actually eat all that sh*t or because they throw it away after every "session"...

 

food disorder is always behind the door for those people...:evil:

And yet they train a ton (physically). There are sports where half the people look more obese than this guy. Let's not act like athletes in athletics, combat sports etc don't damage their bodies a lot every time they compete.

Of course you need training. In every kind of competition you need training. I know I wouldn't like to have their training regime for eating and definitely also not their physical training regime which they need and do to stay in a normal physical shape.

Damn right. Parkour isn’t gymnastics; it’s it’s own sport.

 

My mother after seeing a parkour tournament on TV just now:  these Westerners really ran out of things to do, didn't they? (interestingly the guy on TV was an Iranian :p)
