Kobayashi is a world sensation because he did two significant things:
1. He made competitive eating a sport by having a strict training regimen. Therefore, he debunked the myth that competitive eating was monopolised by big-sized people.
2. He devised his own technique of stuffing as many hotdogs as possible within a time limit – break it into half, dip it into water and stuff it into his mouth!
Here are the video resources that you should look at before attempting the comprehension exercise:
(A) A tribute video to Takeru Kobayashi
(B) Kobayashi’s technique of eating a hotdog – filmed in slow motion
