I ate 25 khinkali in a minute: Andrey Tyurnin, the champion in speed eating, shared his “skill”

“If you eat a whole cake at a time, then cloudiness sets in, as if you are getting drunk”

Bodybuilder from Veliky Novgorod Andrei Tyurnin has been conducting severe tests on his own stomach for several years. A man shoots videos on the topic of high-speed eating dumplings, rolls, cakes, burgers, pilaf. The other day I won another khinkali eating contest. In 1.16 minutes, he swallowed 25 pieces.

We talked with the Tyurnins about an unusual hobby.

Andrey Tyurnin is a speed eating champion. A man regularly trains in consuming a huge amount of food in a short period of time. Videos with the report are posted on the Web.

– In Russia, there were cases when people died during speed eating contests. One woman choked on pancakes, another on cakes, a third man died after eating hamburgers. Are these activities safe?

– If you do not prepare for such tests, then you have nothing to do in this sport. Since I am professionally engaged in bodybuilding, I eat a lot in everyday life. I eat 3-4 kilograms of food at a time. After a couple of hours, the heaviness passes, and I can eat again. I have 110 kg of muscle mass, everything is quickly absorbed. The more muscles, the stronger the appetite. So eating is extra work for me.

– It’s one thing to eat a lot, another – to eat quickly. Do you exercise in any way?

– In addition to a capacious stomach, in this case it is important to learn how to swallow correctly. If you know how to relax your throat, then you can easily handle it.

Last year I took part in the khinkali speed eating contest for the first time. Finished in 1.37 minutes. I didn’t expect them to come in so easily. This year, khinkali were poorly pushed through. I lost six seconds to swallow the 22nd khinkal. There was no time to drink. But they have a lot of fatty broth, which helps to push through the product. You throw the first one, the second one pushes it.

– Didn’t you feel bad afterwards?

– There are no problems with digestion after khinkali. The dough of the product is soft, melts in the mouth, the minced meat does not need to be chewed. Some kind of shawarma is much harder. Here it must be washed down, otherwise you can choke.

Khinkali, dumplings, dumplings are ideal food for such competitions. After all, on the eve of the competition, I ate 100 dumplings in 30 minutes to shoot a video.

And on the day of the competition, I only had breakfast. I came to the competition hungry. While eating khinkali, they didn’t even have time to reach the stomach, they were immediately distributed into the muscles. This product is well absorbed. Whereas after fast food, heaviness is present. I ate burgers at speed, after them I had to throw in enzymes to make it easier.

– Girls are harder given such tests?

– I think yes. Although in the West girls participate in such competitions and show good results. There, such events are popular, the winners are decently paid. But there is also strong competition.

– Do you have any competitors in this sport in Russia?

– In winter, I had my first defeat during a shawarma-eating slaughter in St. Petersburg. One guy overtook me by 30 seconds. But with khinkali, he took 4th place, this product did not succumb to him.

– You ate 3 kg of rolls at a time, a whole cake, swallowed 100 sweets in 10 minutes, persuaded a 2.2-kilogram pizza in 9 minutes. What foods are the hardest to go?

– Rolls are heavy if not washed down. Baked with a fat mayonnaise cap, after three minutes it is already impossible to chew, you feel heaviness. If you drink water, the rice swells even more. But the rolls are well packed in the stomach. Pilaf comes in much easier. Pizza is ok too. But if you eat a big cake at a time, then turbidity sets in, as if you are getting drunk. In the body, sugar rises, which causes a drunken state. From 100 sweets, it also became a bit bad. So it’s not for nothing that they say that sugar is evil.
