A slender Japanese man has won the annual hot dog-eating contest at New York City's Coney Island for the fourth year running.
Takeru Kobayashi , of Nagano, - just 5 ft 7 ins and 9 st 4 lbs - wolfed down 53 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes, shattering his own world record.
His nearest challenger manged to eat only 38 before running to a nearby tree to relieve himself. There was a total of 25 contestants both men and women.
"I could have done a lot, a lot more, I was just warming up." Kobayashi said through an interpreter.
