Kobayashi retains wiener-eating crown

July 5, 2005

NEW YORK -- For the fifth straight year, it was a victory Takeru Kobayashi could truly relish.

Kobayashi, 27, captured the Nathan's Famous hot dog-eating contest Monday, gobbling 49 dogs in 12 minutes.

He missed his own world record of 53, set at last year's competition.
