The legend of Joey Chestnut<\/a> continues.<\/p>\n

Chestnut is now an 18-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest champion after blowing out the competition once again, this time by downing 66 hot dogs and buns in Coney Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is now the 10th consecutive time Chestnut has won the competition; he was barred from the 2024 event due to sponsorship issues.<\/p>\n

Chestnut did not run away with it early on, as he was neck and neck with 2024 champ Patrick Bertoletti and James Webb through the first 90 seconds.<\/p>\n

But once that time passed, Chestnut began to stretch away from the competition. Through three minutes, Chestnut was at 28, while Webb was at 22, and Bertoletti at 21. But at the halfway mark, Chestnut had eaten 42 hot dogs and had a 10-wiener lead.<\/p>\n

Chestnut remained at record pace (76) with four minutes to go, but like all eating contests, fatigue and full stomachs set in to go along with near-triple-digit heat. Chestnut hit the 60 mark with 60 seconds to go, and officials counted his 66 afterward.<\/p>\n

He admitted he knew he would not get the record early on but stayed calm to take home the victory.<\/p>\n

Chestnut competed in the event while serving a 180-day probation sentence<\/a> after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from drunkenly slapping a man in an Indiana bar earlier this year. He was granted permission to travel to New York for the event.<\/p>\n

Miki Sudo won the women’s event earlier in the day with 39 dogs and buns; she has won each of the 12 contests she has competed in, with her first way back in 2014.<\/p>\n
