1976 EUROPEAN HEAT 3 - BELGIAN HEAT
Once again, as with Spain the year before, the Belgian heat was held in England, Bracknell to be specific. The competition would prove to produce one of the most memorable moments in Superstars history. With two events to go, the Yugoslav basketball player, residing in France Marco Ostarcevic is in first place with 45 points, Dutch soccer player Rudi Krol trailing with 39 1/2 and English soccer start Kevin Keegan in third with 37. The penultimate event was cycling, held over 470 meters, with two man heats against the clock with the two fastest times advancing to the final. Keegan was up against Belgian soccer captain Gilbert van Binst in the third heat. Van Binst was in the lead going into the first turn when Keegan's front wheel clipped van Binst's rear wheel causing Keegan to crash, skidding across the cinder track on his back. The medical staff was quickly clearing the area, Keegan was slow to get up as he had large abrasions on his elbow, shoulder and across his back. With most observers thinking he would withdraw from the competition, Keegan insisted he was ok, and said, "these people here in the stands have come here to see me make a fool of myself and they've got a right to it." Keegan is given a re-ride and produces the second fastest time, eventually losing to Austrian skier Franz Klammer in the final. The second place puts Keegan within a point of Ostarcevic and just a half point ahead of Krol entering the 600 meter steeplechase. Keegan wins the final event with relative ease to capture the Superstars heat. Unfortunately, he would not be available for the final due to his soccer schedule and would never again compete in Superstars.
