Nachdem er im vergangenen Jahr vom traditionellen Hot-Dog-Wettbewerb im New Yorker Stadtteil Coney Island ausgeschlossen war, hat sich der legendäre Wettesser und 16-fache Hot-Dog-Champion Joey Chestnut am Unabhängigkeitstag erneut den Titel gesichert.

Overview

  • Joey Chestnut consumed 70.5 hot dogs in ten minutes at Coney Island to claim his 17th Nathan’s contest victory after a 2024 sponsorship ban.
  • Chestnut’s total fell six hot dogs short of the 76-dog mark he set in 2021.
  • Patrick Bertoletti, who won last year in Chestnut’s absence, finished second with 46.5 hot dogs.
  • Miki Sudo defended her women’s title by eating 18 hot dogs, well below her 51-dog record from 2024.
  • The contest’s reliance on major sponsors like Nathan’s and Impossible Foods continues to influence participant eligibility.
