Reigning women's champ Miki Sudo hoisted the pink belt at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Conley Island by chowing down a record number of hot dogs.
Florida native Miki Sudo won her 10th women's title at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Sudo, a dental hygiene student, also set a women's world record by chowing down on 51 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.
She outpaced a formidable slate of competitors, including 28-year-old Mayoi Ebihara, who finished in second place. Ebihara was also the runner-up in 2023.
Michelle Lesco of Arizona landed in third. Sudo won last year's competition after eating 39.5 hot dogs.

JOEY CHESTNUT BREAKS SILENCE AFTER LEARNING HE CANNOT COMPETE IN 2024 HOT DOG EATING CONTEST
On the men's side of the competition, Pat Bertoletti was crowned the champion after he ate 58 hot dogs on Thursday.
However, this year's slate of competitors was noticeably missing one high-profile contestant: 16-time champion Joey Chestnut.
He was reportedly barred from competing in this year's event. Chestnut recently signed a deal with Impossible Foods, a rival of Nathan's that has launched a vegan wiener, the New York Post reported.
Instead, he will compete against soldiers at an Army base in El Paso, Texas, beginning at 5 p.m. ET.
