Peter_Puget Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Speaking of records did anyone see the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on the Food Network last weekend? Now that was some amazing television. Since the late 90's the Japanese have dominated this "sport" and the winner made a new world's record eating 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes using "double Japanesing" technique. (that is 1 dog w/ bun every 14.4 seconds.) This skinny, honed athlete (think sport climber body) blew away the fat lazy Americans.

Peter_Puget Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 From ESPN: "The 24-year-old Kobayashi, who weighed 113 pounds before the contest and almost 120 pounds after, bettered his 2001 world-record performance by half a hot dog despite having to fight off the 100-degree heat. He also covered the spread of Internet gamblers, who favored him to win by 20 hot dogs. But in the final seconds, with many of the 20 competitors already satisfied with their effort, Kobayashi's body heaved as his cheeks ballooned with remnants. Since visible regurgitation during competition means a disqualification, many in the crowd cried foul and waited for the title to be given to Eric "Badlands" Booker, who finished second with 26 hot dogs.

Figger_Eight Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I was watching an interview with some of these guys and one of the fat americans was explaining why the skinny asians kick ass even though their 1/3 the size. The key is although they aren't as big, they can expand their gut more because there isn't as much fat between their stomach and their skin. Maybe this thread needs to be moved to the Fitness Forum?

chelle Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I think I saw this guy get beat by a bear on some stupid Fox reality tv show. Pretty disgusting what they asked that bear to do if you ask me. That many hot dogs can't be good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
