Smoliga took 39 years of Nathan's contest results and plugged them into a complicated mathematical model. He found that a human could possibly eat 8.3 hot dogs and buns per minute, which would be 83 during Nathan's 10-minute competition. This gives Chestnut something to shoot for.
Amazingly, this project proved that humans can eat food faster than grizzly bears, who apparently would max out at 80 hot dogs at Nathan's. Of course, the Coney Island contest is pretty much the opposite of natural conditions. Smoliga noted that competitors don't have to expend energy foraging or chasing prey. Nor are competitive eaters normal human beings. There's simply no way someone could come off the street and eat anywhere near the number of hot dogs Chestnut and Sudo put down. Years of training have enabled competitors to expand their stomachs to accommodate all those hot dogs. Smoliga figured elite eaters consume about five times the amount an untrained person could manage. Elite runners, by comparison, are only twice as fast as ordinary marathoners. So kudos to Chestnut, Sudo and their peers. Competitive eaters might just be the most underrated athletes in the world.
