This contender died eating pancakes!

Wouldn't be hard to die eating the round carboard cakes McDonalds serve you though...
I am not sure what compels people to consume such large quantities of food like this. I've entered 1 competition like this my whole life, which was actually my wife who entered me in an Icecream eating competition when she entered. We ended up on stage together!
It's not about eating. It's about winning. A competitive personality can lead its host into all manner of stupidity.

joker97: It's definitely not appropriate to say this BUT Tim's nominee won't be accepting any awards
None gets to accept their Darwin award. Death is one of the eligibility criteria .

Competitive Eating was well predicted by the 2000AD graphic stories:
"Fatties are bored citizens who have turned to gluttony as a means to pass the time. They are so gigantically fat that they need a belliwheel to prop up their prodigious gut.
In the future, fatties can count as athletes: competitive eating is an international sport, ranging from the Olympics to criminal back-street eating games. Some contests even have fatties eat items like bedspreads and car parts. Mega-City One has fat camps where parents send juves to gain weight [1] and poor citizens may try to bulk up in the hope that eating games might be their ticket for prosperity.

I think you partly answered your own question there ;)
Next people will be trying to call gaming sport ...

Few speed (competitive) eaters are actually fat though.
Most are young. Give them time.

Only in America.
(ok, maybe Japan as well)

Not quite true... Darwin awards are for removing your genes from the pool in a creative (preferably humorous, but wincingly painful is also good) fashion. Fatality isn't a requirement.

Forget hysterectomy and vasectomy.
Birth control and family planning qualifies for the Darwin award 110%.
Can this be a contender?
