The Overeaters of July

The annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest is coming up again...

Is Miki Sudo ready to make history?

The annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is just around the corner, and all eyes are on Miki Sudo. The defending women's champion is looking to make history by winning her seventh consecutive title. But she'll have her work cut out for her. This year's competition is stacked with top-ranked eaters, including Michelle Lesco, Sarah Rodriguez, and Joey Chesnut.

Sudo is no stranger to competition. She's won the Nathan's contest six times and holds the women's world record for hot dog eating. But she knows that anything can happen on the Fourth of July. "It's the biggest stage in competitive eating," she said. "There's always a lot of pressure, but I'm confident in my training and I'm ready to give it my all."

The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is an American tradition that dates back to 1916. The contest is held on Independence Day in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Each year, contestants compete to see who can eat the most hot dogs in 10 minutes. The winner takes home a trophy and a $10,000 prize. Sudo is hoping to add to her legacy by winning her seventh title. But she knows that it won't be easy. "I'm going up against some of the best eaters in the world," she said. "But I'm confident in my training and I'm ready to give it my all."

The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a spectacle that attracts millions of viewers around the world. The contest is a testament to the American spirit of competition and excess. And Sudo is hoping to add her name to the list of legendary eaters who have won the Nathan's title.
