Miki Sudo Breaks Record at Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest
Women's Competition Makes History at Annual Event
Sudo Consumes 51 Hot Dogs, Setting New Record
In a groundbreaking year for the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, Miki Sudo emerged victorious in the women's competition, setting a new record by devouring an astounding 51 hot dogs. This marks a historic milestone for the contest, which has been held since 1916 but only introduced a separate division for women in 2011.
Sudo's extraordinary performance shattered the previous record of 45 hot dogs, set by Sonya Thomas in 2011. On July 4, 2011, Thomas became the inaugural champion of the women's competition, while Joey Chestnut has dominated the men's contest, winning 16 of the last 17 since 2007.
The 2022 Nathan's Famous competition commenced with the women's contest, setting the stage for a memorable event. Sudo's record-breaking feat is a testament to the growing popularity and competitiveness of the women's division. As the contest continues to evolve, it promises to deliver even more thrilling and unforgettable moments in the years to come.
