1984 WOMEN'S FINAL
Nancy Lieberman had twice finished second and third once in previous visits to the Women's Superstars. It was obvious that she was fit and driven and ready to win in 1984. Her partnership with Martina Navratilova had strengthened her tennis game; she set two records in rowing; and she sped past Louis Ritter in the final yards of the quarter mile to clinch the championship. She was so driven that even after clinching the championship, Lieberman vehemently argued a penalty call on the monkey bars in the obstacle course, the penalty was overturned, allowing her to win that event as well. Louise Ritter set a record in the 60 yard dash. This was to be the last time women ever competed in Superstars competition.
