relish the time in the spotlight
here’s another story illustrating the thrill of the competition and the agony of defeat. there was a kerfuffle on coney island yesterday when competitive eating phenom takeru kobayashi was arrested after rushing the stage after the competition he was banned from was completed. kobayashi, or, ‘the tsunami’ as he’s known on competitive eating circles was banned by competitive eating’s organizing body major league eating because he’d failed to come to agreement with them over his contract. the tsunami rushed the stage wearing a t-shirt that read ‘free kobi’ and to cheers from the crowd of ‘let him eat’. kobayashi’s main competitor joey ‘jaws’ chestnut was nonplused by the whole thing “if he was real man, he’d be on the stage. There was no reason for him not to be here.” chestnut easily won the event.
