(Coney Island, NY) -- Joey Chestnut is once again the champion of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
He won his 16th championship after the event was delayed for more than two hours due to severe weather. Chestnut chowed down 62 hot dogs in ten minutes. That's 14 hot dogs short of his record of 76 that he set in 2021.
On the women's side, Miki Sudo defended her title by eating 39-and-a-half hot dogs. The win gave Sudo her ninth at the Nathan's championships.
