The 12th annual Wing Bowl was a nail-biter at the Wachovia Center where thousands witnessed the stomach-churning spectacle. The new champion in 99-pound 36-year-old Sonya Thomas a.k.a. "The Black Widow".
... also a.k.a. "Windy Sal," "Sonya Burps," and "Barfa the Wonder Babe." | She’s from Alexandria, Virginia. An estimated 20,000 fans poured into the Wachovia center at 5:30 AM Friday. Twenty-three men (some quite large) and one very small woman competed to see who could eat the most wings. Sonya gobbled down 167 chicken wings. Defending champion El Wingador (Bill Simmons) was going wing -to- wing with the young Thomas, but lost eventually finishing 3rd. Thomas actually tied "Young Cookie" Jarvis of New York, but won after the "eat-off" tie -breaker. |
