For the second year in a row. American competitive eater Joey Chestnut defeated his Japanese rival Takern Kobayashi at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York City. After ten minutes of hot dog eating, two shorter than, in previous years. Chestnut and Kobayashi were tied at 59 frankfurters. But after the rare tiebreaker, 24-year-old Chestnut emerged as the winner, claiming a $10,000 prize and a mustard-yellow belt. Kobayashi, whose loss last year shattered a six-year winning streak, said that a sore jaw and a tooth problem may have altered his performance. He said through a translator that, he had lost because he wasn't quick enough in the rematch. This year, the 22 competitors were under a 10-minute time limit unlike the 12 minutes used for previous contests. The reason for this, according to Nathan's, was the discovery of a document from 1916. which revealed that the original competition was 10 minutes tong. Thousands gathered at Coney Island to watch the annual event, which has become one of the more colorful traditions of America's Independence Day.
