Dwimple wins 43,000 meter run

Kolydis Dwimple, great-grandson of legendary goldfish-eating contest champion Horkin Dwimple, has become the youngest ever to win the gold ear in the 43,000 meter run.

Dwimple, 19. started the race January 28 and outlasted all other competitors. The closest to Dwimple was Korean native Hwang He-Kwong, who made it 36,400 meters before passing away under the 11th Street bridge.

















The race, which originated in the 1970s as a fundraiser to find homes for runaway potatoes, was seen in 37 countries by over 100 people. Hahingesh Hooheh, Mayor of Powe Valley, the race's host city, declared July 4th to be "Kolydis Dwimple Day".

Dwimple is scheduled to appear on The Shonsen Pepano Show and Is It Morning Already? with Connie Torkelson & Vince Mashore next week.
