With only three dogs and buns separating them, challenger Joey Chestnut beat out reigning champion Takeru Jobayashi at the 92nd Annual Nathan's Hot Dog eating Contest on Coney Island to score the mustard belt title.
Wolfing down 66 hot dogs and buns in just 12 minutes, Chestnut shattered his previous world record of 59, set earlier this year.
Jobayashi, who came in at 63, was held back by a handicap, having decided to compete just minutes before the contest, despite a serious jaw injury.

"I am open, and I am willing,
For to be hopeless would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us,
So lift me up to the light of change."
