Speed-eating update

A Japanese speed-eater has crammed in another world record.

Takeru 'Tsunami' Kobayashi came out top in Boston's first-ever lobster roll eating challenge.

Kobayashi ate 41 rolls in 10 minutes - the previous world record was 22.

The other challengers managed 25 between them, reports the Boston Globe.

Speaking after the win he said: "I think I could eat some more."

Crazy Legs Conti, a Massachusetts native and 11th-ranked competitive eater in the world, said Kobayashi's edge is in his ability to stay focused.

He said: "He is tapping into something that the greats like Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods know: the game is not on the field. It's in your mind".

Kobayashi is famous for holding the world record for eating 53 hotdogs in 12 minutes.

This article just prompts questions. Not least of which, how did Crazy Legs Conti get his name?
