Japanese speed-eating legend Takeru Kobayashi defeated his arch-rival and reigning champ Joey Chestnut to reclaim the world hamburger eating title Sunday at the Krystal Square Off World Hamburger Eating Championship in Chattanooga, Tenn.
日本的競食傳奇人物小林尊，週日在美國田納西州查塔努加的「Krystal對決吃漢堡世界錦標賽」中，擊敗宿敵與現任冠軍喬伊．卻斯納，重拾世界漢堡大胃王頭銜。
The 31-year-old from Japan earned a score of 93 Krystal hamburgers in eight minutes, setting a world record under a new no-dunking rule established by The Krystal Company. Chestnut, of San Jose, Calif, finished second with 81.
31歲、來自日本的小林尊以在8分鐘內吃下93個Krystal漢堡獲勝，並在Krystal公司訂定的禁止浸泡漢堡的新規定下，締造一項新的世界紀錄。來自加州聖荷西的卻斯納以吃下81個漢堡屈居第2。
Kobayashi’s victory over Chestnut puts him back on top of the sport he brought into the American mainstream more than eight years ago, only to see his star fall the past three years following several high-profile losses, including a loss to Chestnut at last year’s championship in Chattanooga.
小林尊因擊敗卻斯納而得以重返這項他在8年多前引入美國主流的休閒活動的顛峰。過去3年來，小林尊在多場受人矚目的重要比賽失利，包括在去年的查塔努加比賽中敗給卻斯納，以致星輝蒙塵黯淡。
