With the Olympics just around the corner, the Australian International Cup after that, I thought I'd continue the sporting theme with something a little more odd. Two days ago in Singapore, 30-year-old Japanese Food Fighter, Takeru Kobayashi, won Singapore's Major League Eating competition by consuming 5.4 kilograms of satay in 12 minutes.
Mr. Kobayashi, who tips the scales at a less-than-staggering 60kg, won the contest on Sunday against 24-year-old American Joey Chestnut (102kg), who swallowed 4.1 kilograms of satay.
Having narrowly lost New York's hot dog eating contest earlier this year, Kobayashi was obviously pleased with his dominant display in Singapore. His next challenge is a trip back to the United States for a hamburger eating contest in September.
I'll keep you updated on the progress of that one.
