1975 EUROPEAN HEAT 4 - BELGIAN HEAT

Olympic silver medal hurdler Guy Drut of France would win the fourth European heat with wins in rowing and soccer penalties and three second place finishes. The hometown representative, soccer's Paul Van Himst won three events; cycling and the two running races to finish second, four point behind Drut. Perhaps the most impressive performances of the competition were by Swedish Olympic bronze medal discus thrower Ricky Bruch. The enormous Bruch threw the medicine ball 19.73 meters and lifted 135 kilograms, both Superstars records. Although Scheckter was South African, he represented Spain in this competition as he resided in Spain at the time.

Bruges, Belgium.
