In 1973, ABC-TV in the United States debuted a two-hour special featuring ten top athletes from ten different sports competing in events that were not their own. By the end of the year, a similar event appeared in Great Britain. The show grew to encompass women, teams and celebrities. Within a few years, competitions were being held in nearly a dozen countries. This website is an effort to gather all of those results in one place and recognize the great athletes who have taken part over the years.
I have been collecting information for nearly 30 years and I constantly search for more information to complete the site. Anyone with information, please contact me here. If anyone has videos of any events, especially any prior to 1984, I would be willing to take your VHS, copy it to a DVD and return the VHS and DVD to you as well as pay for shipping.
