COMPETITIVE EATER TAKERU KOBAYASHI FEELS BODY IS 'BROKEN,' RETIRES DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES AVE Bapchule
- Location: Bapchule, Arizona, United States
Japanese competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi, the six-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion, has announced his retirement from the sport due to rising health concerns.I’ve decided to retire from competitive eating. It’s all I've done for the last 20 years," Kobayashi, 46, announced in Netflix's "Hack Your Health - The Secrets of Your Gut," a documentary film that explores how food, the digestive system and gut health relates to overall well-being. Kobayashi said decades of overeating for sport has left him with no appetite or no sensation of fullness, which his wife Maggie James said has caused Kobayashi to go days without eating anything at all.I hear people say they’re hungry, and they look very happy after they’ve eaten. I’m jealous of those people because I no longer feel hunger," Kobayashi said in the documentary. "I hope to live a long and healthy life."Kobayashi jumpstarted his career in 2000 during an appearance on the Japanese variety show "TV Champion," where he consumed 16 bowls of ramen in one hour. He set a world record at the 2001 Nathan's Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest, held annually on July 4, by eating 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes. (The previous record at the time was 25⅛ hot dogs). He won the Mustard Yellow Belt six consecutive years from 2001 to 2006.
