1998 MEN'S FINAL
The Superstars returned after a three year hiatus as New York Giant safety Jason Sehorn captured the championship. However, all things were not bright. The competition did return to a 10-event competition for the first time since 1990. On the down side was the fact that the competition was held in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The facility did not have a swimming pool or a track, so some events had to be modified. The swimming event was held with a running start and finish into the bay; the bike race and half mile were held over a road course; the 100 yard dash was held in the sand; and the obstacle course was held over a field of half-grown grass with tires of differing sizes. Once again, no preliminaries were held which diminished the overall level of competition. If eventually became a two-man battle between Sehorn and Olympic Moguls champion Jonny Moseley, with Sehorn taking a 5 and 3/4 point victory.
