Hot Dog Eating Champ Scared?

Hot Dog Eating Champ Scared?
Takeru Kobayashi who has won 6 straight Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest, last year setting a record eating 53 3/4 dogs in 12 minutes. So why is scared to compete next week? Because his record was beat by an American who ate 59 dogs in 12 minutes in a competition earlier this year. Kobayashi claims he hurt his jaw while training for the competition, writing on his blog, "Already I can't open my jaws more than just a little bit. There's no pain only if I open my mouth about enough for one finger. More than that is painful and I can't open it." He went on to say, "To tell the truth, I'm desperate about healing completely before the July 4 contest," and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital. [source, source]
