Hot dog-eating contest winner breaks own record with 72 in 10 minutes

He was awarded the coveted Mustard Belt, which resembles the winners' belts awarded to professional boxers.

Second place in the men's competition went to Carmen Cincotti, who ate 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Miki Sudo, 20, also set a personal best by devouring 41 hot dogs and buns in the same amount of time to win her record fourth consecutive women's title.

The contest is sponsored by Nathan's Famous hot dogs and was first held at Coney Island in 1916 on the US Independence Day holiday.

Prior to the contest participants train their stomach by stretching them to two- to three-times the normal size.

Eating contests have become popular in the US and various forms are held across the country throughout the year. Some have ended tragically. In April, a 20-year-old student from New Jersey choked to death in a pancake-eating contest. On the same day a 42-year-old man from Denver, Colorado, died in a doughnut-eating contest. (dpa)
