“Wing Woman”

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2010-09-05-chicken-wing-contest_N.htm

Sonya Thomas, known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, ate 181 chicken wings in 12 minutes to win the contest at the 9th annual National Buffalo Wing Festival. After eating all those wings, she felt like flying.

181 wings. Most people think that’s impressive, but chickens find it disarming.

Sonya is 5 feet tall and weighs 105 lbs. But she assures her admirers she’s fat on the inside.

For fans who wanted a souvenir, Sonya thought she’s throw them a bone.

Her prize for wining is getting to take home the leftovers.

To celebrate her victory, Thomas will take a first class, all-expenses-paid trip to the bathroom.

Sonya even beat number one ranked competitive eater Joey Chestnut, who is 6-foot-2 and weighs 230 lbs. For the next contest, Chestnut will use a new strategy: eat Sonya Thomas.
