The Superstars", a fresh take on an old favorite, is based on ABC's classic "Wide World of Sports" series, "The Superstars", which pitted athletes from all different sports against each other to determine the best athlete in the world.
The Superstars was first broadcast by ABC Sports as a two-hour special in 1973. Bob Seagren, an Olympic pole vault gold medalist, was the first winner. However, it was heavyweight champion boxer Joe Frazier who nearly stole the show, almost at the cost of life and limb.
With the success of the 'The Superstars' special in 1973, ABC decided to expand the series for 1974. The field of athletes was increased from 10 to 48 and split into four preliminary groups. The top three finishers in each group advanced to the final.
