3 unusual facts about Kjell Isaksson


Kjell Isaksson

Kjell Isaksson achieved international fame in the late 1970s as one of the most successful Superstars competitors, winning two European titles and finishing second in the inaugural 1977 World Championship.

Though he would compete again (losing to Brian Jacks memorably in the 1980 International Final), he never another won a Superstars event.

Until Brian Hooper won the last World Final in 1982, Isaksson was the most successful European Superstar ever.


David Hemery

As a recently retired athlete, Hemery was free to participate in the professional Superstars contests and keep any prize money he won - unlike many other competitors (like Kjell Isaksson or Andy Ripley).
