Caitlyn Jenner

You may know her from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” but Caitlyn Jenner was a celebrated athlete with an impressive track record. She began her athletic journey as a football player, but her true calling came in the decathlon, a grueling ten-event competition that tests an athlete’s versatility and endurance.

Her dedication and talent in the decathlon culminated in a gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, where she also set a world record. This achievement solidified her status as one of America’s greatest athletes. Caitlyn’s transition to television brought her into the spotlight in a different way, but her athletic accomplishments remain a significant part of her legacy.
