Informally called the World Series of competitive eating, Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest got Rovtar interested in becoming a competitive eater. In 2015, after watching a young woman on TV casually eat four hot dogs at the end of the competition table, Rovtar thought, "I could do that." And so she set out to prove that she could, downing five hot dogs in her first qualifier race in Cincinnati, and going on to achieve a total of eight hot dogs ingested at the 2018 Nathan's competition. Already planning to participate next year, Rovtar hopes to make it to 10 hot dogs — that's one per minute, buns included — at the 2019 edition.
