Size doesn't matter
Lightweight Champion Eater
Takeru Kobayashi who weighs only 65kg (10st 4lb), is the five-time winner of the Nathan's hot dog-eating competition in New York. He set another world record in 2004 by eating 69 hamburgers in eight minutes at an international contest in Tennessee. Mr Kobayashi also holds the world record for hot dog eating - an impressive 53-and-a-half frankfurters in 12 minutes.In Hong Kong, Takeru Kobayashi polished off 83 of the steamed vegetarian dumplings in eight minutes, easily beating Hong Kong's Johnny Wu into second place with 76. Japan's champion speed-eater capped his feat in another contest ingurgitating 100 roasted pork buns in 12 minutes in Hong Kong. Takeru Kobayashi ate twice as many buns as the first runner-up, Johnny Wu, who only managed to guzzle 47. Mr Kobayashi, 27, used a special technique - squeezing the buns tight and sipping plenty of water while chewing to soften them up.
