U.S. champion retains hot dog eating title


U.S. champion retains hot dog eating title: "Chestnut, of San Jose, California, defeated six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi of Japan in the annual event held at New York's Coney Island beach.

The two were tied at 59 hot dogs a piece at the end of the regulation 10 minutes, forcing a sudden death overtime to determine which man could eat five more hotdogs in the shortest time.

Organizers said it was the first overtime in the contest's history."
