GulfNews error on Kobayashi’s gender
GulfNews.com, based in the United Arab Emirates, has an article about competitive eating which gets one significant fact wrong:
But people who compete in such bizarre contests, always live to tell the tale. Surprisingly they are people who are reed thin, of course some of them are pleasantly plump, but not walking health disasters by any stretch of imagination. The Japanese girl who won last year’s hamburger eating competition, Takeru Kobayashi weighs 160 pounds and ate 97 hamburgers in eight minutes!
The most surprising of them all is a thin Asian girl called Sonya Thomas who weighs 105 pounds and holds at least 20 records for diverse food items such as crab cakes, fries and nuggets. The most striking of her records is that of eating 9.75 pounds of deep fried okra in less than 10 minutes and 46 crab cakes in 10 minutes!

Well, I guess that makes Koby the best female eater of all time.
