Russian pancake-eating champion chokes to death on pancake
6 Mar, 03:40 PM
A man who died after winning a pancake-eating competition in a small Russian city, choked on a pancake according to doctors, a Russian daily reports.
Boris Isayev, a 48-year old resident of Chernyakhovsk city in the Kaliningrad Region, went to a park on Sunday to take part in the public celebration of Pancake Week or Maslenitsa, Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports. Maslenitsa is a popular Russian carnival that celebrates the end of winter and beginning of spring.
As a part of the celebration, a competition was held to see who could eat a portion of pancakes, the traditional food of the festival, the fastest.
Isayev ate the generous portion offered faster than his competitors, but when he came on stage to get his prize, he collapsed.
Organisers of the festival tried to revive him, but failed. The emergency rescue team that arrived a few minutes later said that it was likely that one of the pancakes had blocked the man’s airways, causing death.
“I guess, you shouldn’t eat that much even for Maslenitsa,” Elena, a witness of the incident, told Komsomolskaya Pravda.
