Props to Kobayashi
3RRR reported this morning that Takeru Kobayashi has maintained his world No1 Ranking in the International Federation of Competitive Eating after winning the July Fourth International Hot dog Eating Contest ahead of arch rival and world number two Sonya Thomas.
He clinched his 5th straight win downing 49 hotdogs in 12 mins, falling just short of his world record of 53.5 hot dogs (and buns) set last year. Sonja downed a meagre 37, setting the American record – how lame are those Americans!.
