Bruce Jenner [now known as Caitlyn Jenner] was an incredible Decathlete, dominating the event during the 1970’s!!! ✊
Jenner trained at San Jose City College & San Jose State University in the build-up to Olympic success – taking Decathlon GOLD in 1976 with a THIRD World Record!!!✨
Fast forward to 2024, Jenner is a true global celebrity; following not only such incredible success as an Olympic athlete, but also through the popular US reality show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ and announcing that she identified as a woman in 2015. Jenner’s transition from male to female and her efforts to raise the visibility of transgender people has drawn both widespread praise and heavy criticism.
