Always in it !? ? So petite is the best bettor in the world
Molly Schuyler's arms are more like spaghetti and macaroni starch. You're almost worried she might collapse right now? If there was not that pile of pumpkin pie in front of her. Schuyler eats at work. While her mostly fat male colleagues start red, go over the sweaty forehead and look pretty dogged, she is in a casual way at the eating in a casual manner. She is focused. Do not look at others. Bites off several times. Swallows. Drink a little water. Bites off several times. Swallows. Drinks a little water? a monotonous rhythm. It's almost meditative to watch her when you're past the first disgust. In ten minutes, she will have lost 48 Pie Pieces, 7.6 kilos, a new world record, which she sets up there in the fall of 2017 in freehand pumpkin pie eating in Clarence, New York. Your profit: 1500 dollars. The 1.70-meter-tall, 53.5 kilos tender US-American is feared as the best bet eater ever. How does this line in the landscape do that?
Molly Schuyler, the biggest binge-eater
21 clock in California, Schuyler had only a coffee for dinner, the four children (9, 10, 11 and 14 years) are in bed, above victory is already digested. Her arms and legs adorn tattoos, her nose and ears are full of heavy metal. The hair has shaved them on the sides, the rest tied back to the braid. Honestly, I'm pretty shy and introverted, she says. When you ride on a rocket, in front of 20,000 bellowing people, you do not think you are entering an arena, just to get stuck meat in it. At most, one guesses it, in their restrained gestures, in the fact that they do not have a "fight name"? has grown as colleagues named? Notorious B.O.B? Bob Shoudt or Sonya? Black Widow? Thomas. She's simply Molly Schuyler, the biggest binge-eater.
Their technique is simple: Do not chew but swallow large chunks. That saves time. Your technique is dangerous as well. In 2017, two people in the US are suffocated after a competition. "Of course I'm aware of the risk," she says, "but the two were amateurs. They did not know what they are doing. She says soberly, analyzing. She knows what she is doing? to prepare well, for example. With water. Even as a child she had tipped down almost eight liters a day. Today she pours six to ten liters of water in under ten minutes every few days. That stretches the stomach. It's like a race. Before you start running, you stretch, you can not just kick-start.? Practically also that they usually do not have a gag reflex? has and good breathing technique and hand-mouth coordination. "If you're a nervous wreck and your hands are wandering too much, are you lost," she says. And then there is the rhythm that she has to redefine every time. "It sometimes takes a while, but as soon as you discover it for your food, it's almost automatic." Only after she is? Always very tired, I need one or two days to recover ?. Her stomach looks like she's five months pregnant. It is absurd that such a gentle person will consume these vast amounts of food. Probably she spits everything backstage? "Nah!" She says almost outraged. Only if it was very sharp (good a kilo of Diablo Burrito), just do not go otherwise.
Willpower is the most important thing
Incidentally, she does not do sports: "My four children keep me busy enough?" Every three to six months she goes to the doctor. "The other day he said my cholesterol levels are the best he has ever seen." Maybe it's an advantage in the business to be thin, more space to expand. Maybe too much belly fat prevents the stomach from expanding. At least that says the Belt of Fat theory. Schuyler says, "Willpower is the most important thing."
And yes, it started with the will, 2012: When someone challenges her in a burger shop, she would not make the over two-pound burger with fries anyway, she proves the opposite? in 15 minutes. Later, she returns and eats the meatball in three minutes. "The first time my kids were there, I did not want to loop like that." No trace of irony in her voice. Schuyler, who keeps her children away from the competitions, values table manners. In her private life, fast food and sweets are rarely on the table, she loves salad and vegetables, cooks daily for the kids and her husband, an Air Force soldier.
After receiving a lot of applause from the burger appearance, she starts practicing for the first time in 2013 and earns $ 800 for two competitions. "I thought, hey, that makes good money." Previously, Schuyler had worked as a waitress, for about two dollars an hour. Another advantage: the flexible working hours as a competitor. The competitions usually take place on weekends, hotel and flight usually pay the organizers, sometimes there are entrance fees. "Between $ 100 and a six-figure amount per year, everything is in it.It depends on how good you are.? And she is eating well.
In 2014 she wins her first Wing Bowl in Philadelphia, the top event in the scene. She gets $ 22,000 for the 363 chicken wings she stuffs in at half past one in the morning at six o'clock in the morning. 2016 she wins again. Ex-winners are not allowed to participate in 2017, but there is a five-minute "Wing Off" duel between her and another champion, which she wins with 95 wings. She fights 15 to 20 food competitions a year, sometimes in a fast-food restaurant somewhere in the middle of nowhere, sometimes at village festivals or in sold-out stadiums. There is hardly anything she does not shovel faster than others. Fried mushrooms. Liter-wise PhoSuppe. Hotdogs. Only oysters she hates. And I do not need fried pork brains again.? She gave it to a zombie contest on Coney Island, which she clearly won: 2.5 kilos of brain in eight minutes.
Often Schuyler is ridiculed for her petite figure
Only to the legendary Nathan's hot dog food on Coney Island, which is to give it since 1916, they can not compete. The event, which takes place on July 4th, Independence Day, is even broadcast on TV and hosted by Major League Eating (MLE). Schuyler, however, has signed with All Pro Eating. "I wanted a contract that leaves me freedoms and less demanding to have more family time." Another difference is the style: While in the MLE the food in the? Freestyle? This can be tattered and soaked until unrecognizable. This is forbidden with All Pro Eating. Because here is the? Picnic Style? groomed ? a dignified way of eating and eating. If one can speak of gluttony of dignity.
Surely that's one reason why she has so few female colleagues. "Many women do not want to get dirty and face scraps of food on their faces," says Schuyler, who is often ridiculed for her stature. One of her best friends, Wettesserin Miki Sudo, got to know her in the scene. "Everyone knows everyone, it's a relaxed atmosphere? until you're at the table and the competition starts.?
She knows that she will not stand there forever and can feed her family with the food. Plan B: "Maybe I'll be a vet." What sounds like a little girl's dream is full of seriousness. But still future music? After all, you should not shut your mouth.
