Wide World of Sports was not the only serialized sports show on ABC that captured the public’s fancy in the 1970’s. The Superstars pitted athletes from across the sports world in a season-long competition in various events that were not their own specialty, with memorable sequences on an obstacle course. The show, which made household names out of pole vaulter Bob Seagren and water skier Wayne Grimditch (the 1973 and 1978 champions), was the brainchild of a former Olympic champion who spent over 40 years as a broadcaster on the Winter Olympics. Who was this broadcaster?
Dick Button
