Olympic career

Jenner placed third in the decathlon at the 1972 U.S. Olympic trials. She finished in tenth place at the 1972 Munich games. Because she did so well in getting to the Olympics, she chose focus her time almost entirely on training. She sold insurance when not training.

During that time, she spent eight hours a day at the San Jose City College track.San Jose at the time was a

Jenner was the second of four children born to William Jenner, a tree surgeon, and Estelle Jenner, a homemaker. He spent his early childhood in Mount Kisco; when he was in his early teens, the family moved to Newton, Connecticut. Jenner came from a long line of athletes, and it seemed only natural that he would one day become an Olympic hero. His father had won the silver medal in the 100-yard dash at the U.S. Army Olympics in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945, and his grandfather had run the Boston Marathon several times. While Jenner excelled at sports, he struggled with academics. An undiagnosed dyslexic, he had great difficulty learning to read and was ridiculed by his classmates. But things changed for him in the fifth grade when it was discovered that he was a fast runner. He quickly became popular and gained the respect of his peers.

Jenner attended Newton High School where he participated in basketball, football, and track. He won numerous trophies, including awards from the Eastern States water-ski competition and New York State's pole-vault and high-jump championships. Despite his poor grades, he received a football scholarship to Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa. His days on the gridiron ended early in his freshman year after he suffered an injury to his knee, tearing his medial collateral ligament. Although he could no longer play football, he was still able to play on the school's basketball and track teams. It was track, however, that captured his heart. Jenner enjoyed the grueling demands of the sport as well as the personal challenges it presented. In track and field, unlike team sports, he relied solely on himself to win competitions. He competed in his first decathlon in 1970 and not only won the event but also broke the school's record.

"All of a sudden, I realized life was different. Wait a second. Everybody knows my name,"says Bruce Jenner on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series.

Bruce Jenner might be the world's most famous World's Greatest Athlete.

Jenner's life melds a host of sports stories that have become cliches. He was the solitary, single-minded slave to training who forsook many earthly pleasures to prepare for his moment of glory. Dyslexic, he fit the classic redemptive mold -- the athlete who struggled to overcome ailment or hardship to achieve excellence. And struggle he did. From his 10th-place finish in the decathlon at the 1972 Games until the 1976 Olympics, he trained, on average, eight hours a day.

At Montreal, amid the heat of the Cold War, he was the all-American boy, at 26 bringing home a gold medal in the year of the Bicentennial. Competing in the 10-event, track-and-field crucible that traditionally crowns the "world's greatest athlete," he defeated a Soviet, defending champion Nikolai Avilov, breaking his own world record with 8,618 points.

The image of Jenner that forever endures is a painting on the front of a cereal box. He has been drawn in a red, white and blue tank top and shorts, frozen in mid-run. His right knee is bent deeply. His arms are aloft in a triumphant V, as if he's making a victory lap and carrying a banner with the word "WHEATIES" swooshed across it. The perfect athlete for the perfect food.

Post-Montreal, he was the hero who seized upon his celebrity to forge an existence in which no life event -- great, small, good, bad -- escaped the spotlight's beam. There were Bruce Jenner T-shirt, Bruce Jenner dolls, Bruce Jenner board games. So
