Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo Defend Their Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Titles

Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo defended their titles and set new records to win the 2020 Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest Saturday in Coney Island, N.Y.

Chestnut, nicknamed "Jaws," scarfed down 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to break his own world record of 74 franks. He smoked the competition to take home his 13th Mustard Belt and finish significantly ahead of runner-up Darron Breedon, who ate 42 hot dogs.

Sudo set a new women's record en route to capturing her seventh consecutive crown. She downed 48 1/2 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to break Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas's all-time record of 45 wieners.
