She said competition from the 27-year-old Ebihara had thrown her off. “The first couple minutes, I found myself watching her, which I never want to do. I never want to be distracted by the other competitors,” Sudo, of Port Richey, Florida, said after the competition. “Watching her, I fumbled my hands. I got stuck with a big burp early on but was able to correct.” Above: World Champions Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo pose together with George Shea. Image Credit: REUTERS
