San Jose's Joey Chestnut forced down a record 68 hot dogs to take his third straight July Fourth hot-dog eating contest at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, on Coney Island, NY.
After his 68 to 64 1/2 dog victory over his archrival, six-time titleholder Takeru Kobayashi, Chestnut hoisted an American flag and stood like a proud Olympian as National Anthem played.
As soon as victory was clear, Chestnut raised a fist in the air, mouth still chewing the last of his wieners. "This is great," Chestnut told ESPN, which broadcast the 10-minute contest live. "After the second minute, I knew that my body was cooperating and it was going to be hard to beat me."
