This contrasts with the 2020 competition which did not allow for fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Michelle Lesco won the pink belt in the women's contest with 30 3/4 hot dogs. This is the lowest number of winners since Nathan started holding the pink belt competition, and it's almost 18 behind Miki Sudo’s 2020 total.The 14 Nathan's titles won by Chestnut are the most historic in history.
