'Black Widow' Wins Wing Eating Contest


　　NEW YORK - Sonya Thomas, a 99-pound woman known as 'The Black Widow,' won Philadelphia's annual chicken-wing eating contest in a dramatic overtime on Friday.

　　Thomas, from Alexandria, Va., consumed 167 wings, beating Ed 'Cookie' Jarvis by two wings in a two-minute overtime round, the first in 10 years.


　　In December, Thomas was crowned the Fruitcake Champion after downing nearly five pounds of the treat in 10 minutes, beating her closest rival - 405-pound Eric Booker_ by a single bite.


　　Despite her size, Thomas is no lightweight on the professional eating circuit. She's eaten 43 tacos in 11 minutes to claim victory in the World Champion Chicken Taco Eating Contest. She also holds the female world record for eating 24 hot dogs in 12 minutes and for eating 68 hard-boiled eggs in 8 minutes.


　　瘦小的暴食冠军


　　纽约－Sonya Thomas，一名体重仅仅99磅，人称黑寡妇的妇女，周五在费城一年一度的食鸡翅比赛的加时赛中，出人意料地夺取了冠军。Thomas来自梵蒂冈的亚利山大市，她在两分钟的加时赛中，以2枚鸡翅之差险胜了十连冠得主Ed 'Cookie' Jarvis，以总数167枚鸡翅的成绩勇夺冠军。


　　去年十二月，Thomas在十分钟内吞下了五磅食物，仅以一口之差击败了她的强劲对手405磅重的Eric Booker，进而获得了水果蛋糕锦标赛的冠军称号。尽管体形如此瘦小，Thomas在职业暴食者当中却决非轻量级选手。她曾经在11分钟内吞入43只墨西哥玉米面豆卷，从而荣获世界鸡肉玉米面豆卷食用锦标赛的冠军。她还保持着12分钟内吃掉24只汉堡以及8分钟内吞入68只水煮蛋的女子世界纪录。
