About as senseless a death as one will find. Sad for her and her family.

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.

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.

James said her husband feels his body is "broken."

It's a weird talent, I don't think a developed one but a genetic one. I guess it's just elasticity of the stomach. I definitely don't have it.

@Horace I dont see how it can be considered a "sport". Seems kind of goofy to me.
