- The idea was to select ten famous athletes from the ten most popular television spectator sports. The ten sports would be baseball, football, basketball, ice hockey, auto racing, boxing, tennis, bowling (which was very popular on ABC-TV Saturday afternoons), golf and horse racing. Each of the ten athletes would select seven of ten events to compete in and would be barred from competing in their own specialty sport. The competition began with ABC Network's iconic sports announcer, Jim McKay, introducing the "Superstars at the summit."
