Thirteen athletes arrived in Rotonda West to contest the preliminary round. Two athletes, basketball's Lou Hudson and hockey's Bernie Parent were scheduled to compete, but did not show up. Pete Maravich was nursing a hamstring injury from a basketball camp earlier in the summer, so he limited himself to two events - bowling and the baseball hit. Rain on the first day of competition postponed the swimming and weight lifting events, causing their inclusion on an unscheduled third day of competition following the obstacle course. Rowing made its first appearance, held over a 175 yard course which accounts for the slow times. John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics jumped to the early lead after day one with second place finishes in tennis and bowling. However, 1973 champion Bob Seagren stormed to an easy win and a record 60 points. Finishing behind Seagren was his bitter pole vaulting rival Steve Smith. Smith finished second in four events that Seagren won. Dutch speed skater Ard Schenk qualified for his second Superstars final on the strength of his victory in the bike race. See less
