Joey Chestnut’s eight-year run of dominance at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest came to a shocking end Saturday as he fell to Matt “Megatoad” Stonie in Coney Island, New York.

Stonie devoured a personal-best 62 dogs in 10 minutes to win the mustard-yellow belt for the first time in his career, while Chestnut’s output of 60 was his lowest since posting 54 in 2010.
The 23-year-old native of San Jose, California, gave Chestnut a run for his money last year by finishing just five franks behind the legendary eater, but the eight-time champ was unable to hold off his younger competition this time around.
