Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest results: Miki Sudo wins 11th title, but falls short of record on tough day
The victory marks the 11th time in the last 12 years that Sudo has won the women's portion of the event. The only year she failed to win, 2021, was the year she did not participate due to her pregnancy.
Sudo defeated Michelle Lesco — who won the event in 2021 — by more than 10 hot dogs. Lesco finished as the runner-up Friday after eating 22 3/4 hot dogs and buns.

Projecting Red Wings' Forward Lines For The 2025-26 Season
Early line projections come out for Detroit Red Wings 2025-26 offence. As the Detroit Red Wings prepare for the next NHL season, the buzz around their projected lineup has started to commence with fans wondering what they can expect to see from the 2025-26 team. Advertisement It's very early to say what the coaching staff decide to roll out with but Daily Faceoff has started their early predictions for the Red Wings lineup and it appears to have some accurate aspects to it. We look to break down the projected top 12 forwards and how likely it is for the lines to come into fruition come opening night. With the help of MoneyPuck, we'll be looking at some numbers available for the lines past performance and how successful they were. More Red Wings: Projecting Red Wings' Defensive Pairings For The 2025-26 Season 1st Line: James van Riemsdyk - Dylan Larkin - Lucas Raymond There was never any doubt that we would see the dynamic duo of Larkin and Raymond on the top line but the team's newest addition in veteran James van Riemsdyk is a surprising sight. Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman spoke to the versatility of van Riemsdyk's potential role with the team and that he could see minutes anywhere from the top line to the third with some also on the power play. The 36-year-old New Jersey native has found middle-six consistency in old age with 36 or more points in all but one of his last nine seasons. He is an elite netfront presence as uses his large frame at 6-foot-3 almost 210 pounds to carve out a spot in front of the net and impose his will upon opposing defenders. Last season, van Riemsdyk scored 16 goals with all but two of them coming from the slot. Advertisement This is a trend for van Riemsdyk as 33 of his 39 of his goals over the last three seasons have come from the netfront and could give Larkin and Raymond a chance to dish the puck around the zone with the help of the blueline while JVR applies screens and tries to tip in pucks. More Red Wings: Red Wings Sign Former First Round Pick to One-Year Deal 2nd Line: Alex DeBrincat - Marco Kasper - Patrick Kane Detroit's second line trio was the most effective last season with a team-best plus/minus as a unit at +4 on the season after playing 192.2 minutes together over 30 games. Kasper's 14 points over his final 18 games was noted by many including Yzerman, who said that the team would like to see him continue and prolong his stellar play into this upcoming season. Advertisement The Red Wings elite top line with Larkin and Raymond normally garner all the league's toughest defenders while the second line can hopefully excel and put up more solid numbers with more time together this season.

Compher - Jonatan Berggren Two recent re-signings for the franchise will be featured alongside Compher, who is looking to bounce back after a lackluster season. The veteran centre finished with 32 points last season and was a disappointment after recording 48 and 52 points in the two seasons prior. Advertisement Compher will have the chance to help two newcomers find their footing with a 6-foot-8 giant in Soderblom and a former second round pick in Berggren. Both players are looking to carve out a role for themselves and could learn from the newcomers joining the team. Soderblom could look to better utilize his large frame with the help of van Riemsdyk and Mason Appleton while Berggren and Compher move the puck and make plays around the netfront. Not too many teams have gone against Soderblom before and with his mystery box upside as an everyday player, there's no telling what this line could be. 4th Line: Michael Rasmussen - Andrew Copp - Mason Appleton Appleton is coming from a system where he excelled playing alongside a physical player like Jets captain Adam Lowry and he should find some chemistry with a player like Rasmussen on his opposite wing. Advertisement The fourth line would likely be used as a physical, forechecking unit that can lay the body and keep opposing forward groups in check. Rasmussen is a towering 6-foot-6 and could help with the forecheck while Copp tries to bring some level of offence down the middle as a regular 30-40 point producer.

Paul Libin, a Forceful Presence On and Off Broadway, Dies at 94
Paul Libin, a prolific producer and respected Broadway theater executive whose first major endeavor was an Off Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's play 'The Crucible' that he staged in the ballroom of a Manhattan hotel in 1958, died on June 27 in Manhattan. He was 94. His death, in a hospital, was confirmed by his son, Charles. In his nearly 70-year career, Mr. Libin ran Circle in the Square Theater with Theodore Mann, one of its founders, and together they produced more than 100 shows. Later, Mr. Libin was in charge of operations at Jujamcyn Theaters, the owner of several Broadway houses. Rocco Landesman, the former president and owner of Jujamcyn, said Mr. Libin had a wall-penetrating voice, a forceful presence and enormous energy. 'I depended on Paul entirely,' Mr. Landesman said in an interview. 'Someone had to run the company. But I wouldn't describe his role as corporate. He was as likely to be climbing into the air-conditioning ducts at the St. James Theater as he was to be sitting at his desk. He came in every day with enthusiasm.' That enthusiasm dated to Mr. Libin's early days as an assistant to Jo Mielziner, a Tony-winning scenic designer and producer. When Mr. Mielziner produced the Broadway musical 'Happy Hunting,' which opened in late 1956, he promoted Mr. Libin to stage manager. In 1958, on his way to a dentist appointment, Mr. Libin passed the Hotel Martinique, on West 32nd Street near Broadway, and saw a sign advertising the ballroom's availability. He thought of it as a space that he and the director Word Baker could turn into a theater-in-the-round for a production of 'The Crucible,' the 1953 Tony-winning Broadway play about the Salem witch trials and an allegory of the McCarthy-era Red Scare.

Watch: Sovereignty Back On Work Tab With Easy Half Mile
Watch: Sovereignty Back On Work Tab With Easy Half Mile originally appeared on Paulick Report. Three-year-old divisional leader Sovereignty was back on the work tab June 27 at Saratoga, his first official workout since the son of Into Mischief won the Belmont Stakes. Officially, the Godolphin homebred covered a half-mile over the Oklahoma training track in 50.85 seconds, according to Equibase records. 'The track looks very slow, but he looked fine, that's all that really matters,' Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott told the Daily Racing Form after the work. 'I was looking for 49, but given the track, that's probably what it was. He's doing fine. It's just his first work back.' Check out video of the work below: Advertisement View the original article to see embedded media. Following his wins in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes—connections opted to skip the Preakness, negating a Triple Crown bid—Sovereignty will be pointed to the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga on July 26. Mott hopes to use that spot as a prep race for the G1 Travers four weeks later. Read more at the Daily Racing Form.
