The Superstars (ABC)

Website: http://abc.go.com/primetime/thesuperstars/index?pn=index

Superstars is an all-around sports competition that pits elite athletes from different sports against one another in a series of athletic events resembling a decathlon. (On the original ABC version, no athlete was permitted to compete in the sport(s) of his or her profession.) The idea was developed by 1948 and 1952 Olympic figure skating champion Dick Button. He shopped the idea to all three U.S. television networks, and ABC bought it as a special for the winter of 1973. The first Superstars competition was held in Rotonda West, Florida in March 1973 and was won by pole vaulter Bob Seagren. The BBC covered the competition and aired their own programme, featuring British athletes on New Year's Eve 1973. David Vine, who was the first presenter of the BBC programme, said in "Vine on Vine" (ESPN Classic 2009) that "in 1975, Ron Pickering, myself, Don Revie, Billy Bremner and TV producer Barney Colehan sat in a hotel in Leeds and formulated Superstars but the BBC dismissed the idea. Then Dick Button started it in the states and the BBC bought the rights". The programme had been recorded in August of 1973. The competition was captured by 400 metre hurdles Olympic champion David Hemery. Television broadcasts of the competitions were popular both in Europe and North America in the 1970s and 1980s.
Competitors participate in ten different sporting events, including a 100 yard dash, 800 metres (0.50 mi) run, obstacle course, weightlifting, Bowling, rowing, tennis, bicycle racing, basketball, and swimming. The sports used have varied somewhat over time and between the European and American competitions. Points are awarded for the position in which the competitor places in each event. The competitor with the most points at the end of all ten events is declared the champion.
