The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, a fiercely competitive Fourth of July staple for over 50 years — and the world’s premier competition for competitive eaters — has crowned a women’s champion: Miki Sudo.
During what is commonly known as the ’10 minutes of glory’ on Coney Island, Miki Sudo ate an impressive 33 hot dogs, securing her 11th championship. This amount, however, fell short of the record she set last year, when she won her 10th title in 2024 by consuming 51 hot dogs. In addition to being crowned the hot dog eating champion, Sudo will receive $10,000 from a total prize purse of $40,000.
