ESPN takes a gulp of competitive eater Kobayashi in new film

FILE - This April 26, 2019 file photo shows competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi attending the screening for "Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival Gala: The Good, The Bad, The Hungry" during the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Premiering Tuesday, July 2, on ESPN, the documentary comes two days before the annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest that brought Kobayashi to prominence in the competitive eating arena.

The 41-year-old competitive eater has no problem consuming 62 slices of pizza in 12 minutes, or 337 chicken wings in a half hour. But seeing himself onscreen in the latest ESPN “30 for 30” documentary series, is a little harder to swallow. The documentary shows the rivalry between the six-time champion and the current 11-time champion Joey Chestnut, who dethroned Kobayashi in 2007.“I have to put something inside the stomach to make it expand, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be food. I train with water. So, I’m not training for long periods of time by hauling food. I’m training with water expanding my stomach,” Kobayashi said.
