Racing horses and competitive eaters are truly the world’s greatest athletes.

Big deal - Paul Newman ate 50 eggs and got very little credit.

They have to keep it down for some long after the final bell goes off. but I would think it’s gone after that.. otherwise plan spending a little extra loo time
