BEIJING, Jan. 5 -- A man from New York has claimed the

ESPN Zone Ultimate Couch Potato prize for the second year in a row.



Participants in the competition sat in front of

dozens of televisions in recliners and were only allowed to leave their seats

once every eight hours for a bathroom break.

Reigning champion Stan Friedman stayed on his couch

longer than anyone else, watching for 18 hours, 48 minutes and 17 seconds to win

the contest.

The 47-year-old won two tickets to anywhere in the

US, along with a 42-inch HDTV and recliner chair of his own.
