Maybe this story will be enough to put a stop to this stupid, ridiculous, absurd, embarrassing, and dangerous spectacle called "competitive eating." But probably not, because people are stupid and absurd.
Man wins dumpling eating contest, then dies
KIEV (Reuters) - A 77-year-old Ukrainian man won a jar full of sour cream for coming first in a dumpling eating contest and then promptly died, local media reported on Wednesday.
Ivan Mendel ate 10 dumplings in half a minute to win first place and a one-liter jar of sour cream in the contest held in the town of Tokmak in the southeastern Zaporizhya region on September 18, Fakty I Kommentarii newspaper said.
Shortly afterwards, Mendel became unwell and died, according to local news websites.
Dumplings, called "vareniki" in the former Soviet republic, are a staple of Ukrainian cuisine and are often stuffed with a range of fillings from mushrooms to cherries.
Original. And hey, what a "prize" they gave on this contest, huh? Things must be really fucked up in Russia.
