A 65-year-old Govindbhai Lunagaria from Sarapdad village consumed 24.5 laddus in few minutes and was first in Open Saurashtra Ladu Spardha. In women’s segment Rajkot’s Anuben Yadav consumed 10 laddus.

Govindbhai said,if he was given more time, beyond the time-limit decided by organizers, he could consume five-six more laddus in 10 minutes.

There were total 110 participants, 103 of them males and 7 women. Organizers had made 710 laddus, each having 100 gram weight.

Jivapar’s Ashokbhai Rangani was on second place with count of 17.5 laddus, while Rajkot’s Narendrabhai Trivedi was on third position with 16 laddus.

In women’s segment originally from Uttar Pradesh, but now settled in Rajkot Anuben Yadav was on number one position with 10 laddus consumed while Ritaben Rathod was on second number with 7 laddus and Savitaben Bhut on third position with 6 laddus.
