The annual tradition of watching competitive eaters absolutely destroy a plate (or multiple plates) of hot dogs continued this Fourth of July as Miki Sudo won her ninth title in the women’s division.
While Sudo chomped her way to 39.5 finished hot dogs, the nation’s attention was drawn to one of her competitors. Elizabeth Salgado of Keene, California — making her Fourth of July debut for the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest — captured the hearts of the internet with her incredible nickname: Glizzy Lizzy.
