Bruce Jenner Biography
Bruce Jenner is an Olympic gold medalist, motivational speaker and star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, alongside his stepchildren Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Robert.
Background and career
Native New Yorker Bruce Jenner overcame childhood dyslexia to excel at sports, in particular track and field, and aim for the Olympics.
In 1972, Jenner came third in the Olympic trials and tenth at the Munich games. Four years later, he won a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, scoring a world record-setting 8,634 points in the decathlon. After his win, a bystander handed him an American flag, which he enthusiastically grabbed for a victory lap, a gesture that has been repeated in Olympic games ever since.
Following his Olympic success, Jenner has remained in the public eye through endorsements, speaking engagements, TV guest appearances and other outlets. After famously appearing on the Wheaties box, he pursued guest appearances on various US TV shows including CHiPs and The American Sportsman. In 1980, he made his big screen debut in the notorious flop Can't Stop the Music. This was Bruce’s first and last movie role.
Jenner has appeared as himself on numerous game shows and reality programs in recent years, most notably with his wife, Kris, stepchildren Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Robert, and children Kendall and Kylie in the E! reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Jenner also has four other children fromk previous marriages.
Since his retirement from sports, Jenner has become a popular motivational speaker and television sports commentator. He is head of Bruce Jenner Aviation, a firm that sells aircraft to executives and corporations.
Jenner is the author of several books, including Decathlon Challenge: Bruce Jenner's Story, The Teenage Guide to Fitness and Finding the Champion Within.
