I guess back in the day they had this show called 'Rock N Roll Sports Classic' and had musical stars competing against each other in track and field, swimming, etc.

The Jacksons compete on this show, including Latoya and Janet. Michael does track, but came in last. :( Jackie wins the race. Michael swims in the end of the second video. He totally looked like he did a belly flop jumping into the pool!

These videos are great!

I always wanted to see this! I've seen the pics but, not the video! MJ was Third place on track and did pretty good swimming! He was representing the east coast and won YEA! I was cheering while watching as if it was now....:) And the interview was cute I like the way he says the word "but"....:p

Wow, ah the 70's. Very cute. I don't remember this show and I was 15 in 1978 (and watched LOTS of TV - as I do today). It's similar to another program from the same era called "Battle of the Network Stars". I so loved that show.
