– I am devastated that I am being kicked out after 19 years. This is how the American tells his roughly 180,000 followers on social media that there will be no WC this year. The American is the world’s best competitive eater and holds a number of world records. During the WC in 2021, he devoured 76 sausages (with bread!) in ten minutes. Last year there were “only” 62 sausages in bread, but it was enough for WC title number 16. A LOT OF SAUSAGE: Miki Sudo (left) and Joey Chestnut (both from the USA), pose with the food intake after last year’s World Championship.

Collaborates with vegetarian sausages It was the New York Times that revealed that Chestnut is now unwanted on the start list. They write that the reason is that Chestnut has a partnership with a competing brand that sells plant-based sausages. It is the sausage producer “Nathan’s” that organizes the WC in collaboration with Major League Eating (MLE). This is the World Hot Dog Eating Championship Held on July 4th every year Takes place at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York Has around 20 participants Was first held in 1980 as a television concept on ESPN according to Reuters. Record: Joey Chestnut with 76 Hot Dogs in 2021 Reigning Champions: Joey Chestnut (USA) Men’s and Miki Sudo (USA) Women’s – It seems that Joey and his managers have prioritized a new collaboration with another brand rather than our long-standing collaboration , MLE writes in a statement. Chestnut writes in social media that it is the organizer who has changed the rules in order to acquire new partners, and that he is therefore excluded from the competition. STUFFED: Watch Chestnut gobble up the last WC sausages here. Has prepared for half a year When sausage-eating king Joey Chestnut prepares for the WC, he does it like a real top athlete. In an article in Business Insider, he talks about six months of preparation for the year’s big highlight. It involves: a test competition every week neck, mouth and jaw exercises dumping huge amounts of water He has stated to GQ magazine that he drank a gallon (3.79 litres) of water during the crash to stretch his stomach. Although the preparations are impeccable, there will be neither WC participation nor WC gold this year. – To all my followers: I really appreciate you. Rest assured that you will see me eat again, writes Joey Chestnut on Instagram. Nicolay Ramm and Espen PA Lervaag were in the WC a few years ago. This is how it went when they participated and met, among others, Joey Chestnut. Published 12.06.2024, at 21.57 Updated 12.06.2024, at 22.11
