They couldnt eat enough pizzas

CHENNAI: Ten teams competed in a high-energy pizza-eating competition consuming over 60 pizzas and a countless number of sodas. The wonderful aroma of pizza fills the air, but it’s hard to stay hungry with young men testing the limits of the human body by gorging themselves on gourmet pizza. Tuscana pizza hosted a pizza eating contest in conjunction with ChennaiLive radio, Saturday, pitting a diverse group of young men against each other from countries as far away as Finland to participate in the ultimate test of human endurance.Out of 15 entries, 10 teams were randomly selected for the first contest of “survival of the hungriest” in which each team had to eat as much pizza as they could within the time limit. After five teams were eliminated, the mood in the room began to escalate to something near pandemonium. The competition heated up, and it was so crowded that it was nearly impossible to move. In the second round, the remaining teams had to get on their knees and eat without using their hands. As the round took off, team Lungi (named after the two European guys wearing Lungis) pulled ahead with the first pizza gone in 30 seconds and Jinxed tailing close behind. Nom Nom Nom surged forward and remained neck-in-neck with Lungi for almost the whole round. The room exploded after Lungi finished with an amazing 10 slices in just 108 seconds.“I started to slow, but now I don’t even know what happened,” said Mauke Marczinkowski, a young German from team Lungi. “I’m just warming up.” The round ended with Lungi and Godfathers tied at 18, Nom Nom Nom at 16, Alpha at 14, and Jinxed at 12.It was chaotic excitement when they announced the intricate final challenge. Each team was going to be of  five people, four would be blindfolded, two would feed the other two while the fifth guided them.The atmosphere was electric with energy as Nom Nom Nom exploded out of the gate with four  pieces down in almost 30 seconds with Lungi tailing in a close second, but team Godfathers pulled ahead and finished with no pieces left. However, one person has to rush out of the room looking like they were going to vomit.After a sudden death match between Lungi and Nom Nom Nom, Godfathers won with a score of 28, Nom Nom Nom and Lungi at a close second and third place of 24, alpha at 22, and Jinxed at 20. After 61 avocado and chicken pizzas and countless sodas, the tense atmosphere subsided and was replaced by camaraderie that can  be found between dedicated and passionate athletes.The final prize was a `2,500 credit to Tuscana to the winner, and a `1,250 credit awarded to second place. “It feels random, but pretty good,” says Shanath, a member of victorious Godfathers team, after receiving his prize. He said it was a good feeling and has  never done something like that before. Overall, they just wanted to say that it was “good pizza.”
