This isn’t just dancing to the surrounding music. You’ll notice that during the competition, competitors will be moving their bodies, jumping and writhing. As I covered for Forbes last year, they tend to have larger, more stretchy, and more flaccid stomachs from birth or training or both. Top competitive eaters are typically able to hold more food in their stomachs at a time than regular folks. It also helps to be able to expand their esophagi and relax their lower esophageal sphincters, which normally control the junctions between the lower esophagi and stomachs. It helps for them to be able suppress their gag reflexes so that this mass can make its way past their throats. (Yes, “esophagi” is the plural of “esophagus” in case you haven’t ever had to mention more than one esophagus in a sentence.) Instead, through a combination of sipping water and using various chewing techniques, they try to create a mass of food that can then move down their esophagi like toothpaste. Competitive eaters don’t chew food and swallow like you would during a date or business dinner. What has made Chestnut and Sudo so dominant?
