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.
Caitlyn Jenner is “in favour” of reintroducing the death penalty in California, she has said. Speaking to CNN, the former reality television star, who is running for governor in the state, expressed support for the punishment – which is legal in California but has been halted since 2006 under a federal court and had an official moratorium placed on it in 2019 by governor Gavin Newsom. “I am in favour of the death penalty,” she said.
Jenner is part of a who’s who of candidates running for the role. As well as the incumbent, candidates include John Cox – who is campaigning with a bear – while Kanye West has also expressed interest in the role.
