1979 U.K. PAST MASTERS

With the elimination of heats for the European Superstars, the U.K. Superstars added heats, the first of which was the inagural Past Masters for retired athletes. The competition was totally dominated by 1964 Olympic long jump champion Lynn Davies who won seven events to score a record of 70 points. I know the final standings and that Davies won the weight lifting, bike race, 600 meter steeplechase, gym test and swimming.
