Caitlyn Marie Jenner (born William Bruce Jenner; October 28, 1949) is an American television personality and retired Olympic gold medal–winning decathlete.
Jenner played college football for the Graceland Yellowjackets before incurring a knee injury that required surgery. Convinced by Olympic decathlete Jack Parker's coach, L. D. Weldon, to try the decathlon, Jenner won the men's decathlon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, setting a third successive world record and gaining fame as "an all-American hero".
Given the unofficial title of "world's greatest athlete", Jenner established a career in television, film, writing, auto racing, business, and as a Playgirl cover model.
One week after announcing her run for governor of California, Caitlyn Jenner is taking heat for some controversial comments she made about transgender girls and school sports.
The Olympic gold medalist was questioned about the hot-button issue by TMZ, and offered a response that did not go over well with her fellow members of the trans community. “This is a question of fairness.
That’s why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls’ sports in school,” she told TMZ. “It just isn’t fair and we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools,” she added.
