Rote built a 14 point lead after six events and held on to win by 15 following another victory in the bike race. Reggie Jackson won the weight lifting, 100 yard dash and obstacle course to take second place. The obstacle course final came down between baseball M.V.P.'s Jackson and Pete Rose and ended with Jackson edging Rose as both athletes dove over the finish line. Jackson qualified for the final, but was settling his contract with the Oakland A's and was unavailable. Jackson was replaced by tennis player Stan Smith. Skiier Jean-Claude Killy withdrew after the first day of competition. See less
