Joey Chestnut is confirmed as the champion of the hot dog eating competition, a ‘sport’ event that characterizes July 4, Independence Day in the United States. Chestnut, 39, triumphed by gobbling 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes, thus winning the 16th overall title in the specialty and the eighth in a row. The competition has been totally defeated. Runner-up, Geoffrey Esper, stopped at 49 hot dogs. The race was postponed for a couple of hours due to bad weather: “We were all upset,” said Chestnut.
