1982 MEN'S PRELIMINARY #2
Bob Seagren returned to Superstars competition for the first time in four years, now as a veteran, and once again emerged on top. He struggled with a calf injury and was able to pass Pete Maravich for the title only after the obstacle course. Seagren won only one event, the rowing but managed to finish either second or fourth in all of his other events to capture victory. Bob Beamon was a challenger for a spot in the finals, but he suffered from heat exhaustion following the 100 yard dash and had to withdraw from the obstacle course.
