Before he ran the 100 yards on the Superstars, Brian Oldfield practiced his sprinting on the ITA circuit. Here is Oldfield beating Lacey O'Neal over the 30-yard distance back in 1973.

RIP to one of the greatest athletes of all-time. Jim Brown passed away last night at 87. Jim was arguably the best rb of all time, possibly the best college lacrosse player of all time, averaged 15ppg playing D1 basketball, and came in fifth in the national college decathlon.

Who was the better athlete??

[Superstars Competition @SuperstarsComp]

A little over 20 years ago, Reebok gave us the Dan & Dave greatest athlete ad campaign. Dan won 3 world champs and an Olympic gold medal while Dave earned a bronze. However, Dave won 2 Superstars titles while Dan finished 4th. Go below and vote…on who was the better athlete?
