Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi set another record Saturday, eating 69 Krystal Burgers in eight minutes. The nearest competitor was Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas, with 46.
Kobayashi weighs about 130, and he is the undisputed master of power eating. It's amazing to watch him whip guys who are over 400 lbs. by double or more, and he has perfected hotdog eating to the point where it's useless to go further. As Dave Baer of the International Federation of Competitive Eating says, "Kobayashi has proven he's not the Lance Armstrong of competitive eating, but that Lance Armstrong is the Kobayashi of cycling."
I'll go along with that, having seen them both in action. If Lance wins the Tour by a week next year, he might be able to reverse that sentence.
