 Baxter
proves he is a Superstar
Alain Baxter demonstrated his all round sporting prowess with an
impressive display of fitness and skill to secure the BBC's Superstars
Title for 2005 in La Manga, Spain.
Baxter improved on his 2004 runners up spot with three individual
wins in Kayaking, 100 metres sprint, and the Mountain Bike competition,
in which he set a new Superstars record.
Baxter needed a good performance in the final event, the gym tests,
to secure victory from last year's winner and this year's runner
up Athletics star Du'aine Ladejo. An impressive combined total of
156 points from squat thrusts and bar dips earned Baxter a second
place and secured the 2005 title.
Ten athletes competed in the final representing five sports, which
were Athletics, Cricket, Cycling, Rowing and Skiing.
This performance improved on last week's impressive display by Snowboarder
Lesley McKenna in the female competition where she came third.
