2016 Nathan’s Charlotte qualifier
update May 31 Charlotte Agenda has a contest report with a full roster
update May 29 The Sporting News has a contest report. The men’s top 3
1) David Schuster 21.5
2) Ronnie Hartman 18.5
3) Damien Boykin 16
Native New Yorker Elizabeth Petra was the sole woman, perhaps the female Carolinians boycotted due to the HB2 transgender bathroom law 😉
WCCB has a gallery
Steve Shuster won the men’s division with 21 and Elizabeth Petra took the women’s with 6
Ronnie Hartman ad Corey Fanguy are the expected ranked eaters. Rich Shea says a female will make her debut.
Mitchell Johnson and Anthony V. Taddeo did a podcast about the contest
SpeedStreetAutograph is claiming Michael Alvarez is a “semifinalist” who “rocked” last year’s qualifier despite a total of 11 hot dogs.

And they get flown out to Coney hotel accomodations included and $200 spending money all that for being female and eating 6 HD

Quite possibly the most annoying type of person is the one who tells you ad nauseum how they are going to win and then totally underperform.

It’s like when Smellkin says he’s making a big comeback and only does 1 contest and cries that his tummy hurts after eating 1.1

Ronnie lost this one, what’s the big deal? He has done better before and surely he understands that he can do even better than that.

He will not have a chance at the VA qualifier and no shot at all in DC since that one will be super stacked. He is out of options unless he is willing to travel.

If Smellkin wasn’t cheap and went to DC, he will eat 11, blame the weather and cry “wwaahhh my tummy hurts.” Then storm off the stage after being ignored by all the other eaters.

Hey Goldshit how come you never admit you lose when you play BJ at casino? Its always i broke even or made a few. I can personally attest that the wife got destroyed at slots while you took a beating at BJ table in vegas after getting your ass handed to you in cheese fries by levi oliver. I guess geezah might object to old bed tales

I’m fine, I was just a little upset that I’m not as good at competitive eating as I thought I was or could be. I did train really hard for this Nathans contest and my numbers are just 3 more hot dogs than I did in 2013 where I had no clue what I was doing. I’m not sure what it is, if it’s just hot dogs, or if my stomach just isn’t as capable of being a top competitive eater. That will be my last attempt to qualify for this years nathans contest.

Ronnie should be proud. At least he has experienced being on that great stage at the final table where as certain low ranked, 11 hotdog eating, geezer troll of the sport will never ever have that honor.

Goldstein not only faked his way into the Nathans finals but faked his way into the VA claiming he served his country on the application when in reality he never served one day in the armed forces . Haven’t you one ounce of sanctity in you?

How does someone fake their way into Nathan’s finals? I am sure many hopefuls would love to know.
