Greatest Athlete of Our Time

LeBron James? Tiger Woods? Lance Armstong? Michael Phelps? All respectable nominations, but the greatest athlete of our time hails from the world of professional eating. Earning his third victory in a row in the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, Joey Chestnut set a new world record by eating 68 hotdogs in 10 minutes and didn't need an overtime to handily defeat rival Takeru Kobayashi this year. Chestnut adds this world record to eighteen other such achievements in catorgories as varied as gyoza, matzoh balls, and Pizza Hut P'Zones. Take that Usain Bolt. Sure, you can run the 100m in 9.69 seconds but how many hot dogs can you eat while you're doing it? Hats off to Joey Chestnut, greatest athlete of our time.
