Which Kardashian-Jenner family member won the 1976 Olympic gold medal in the decathlon?

Caitlyn Jenner won the 1976 Olympic gold medal in the decathlon.

Competing as Bruce Jenner at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Jenner won the men’s decathlon. The event combines ten track-and-field disciplines across two days and tests speed, strength, jumping, and throwing ability. Jenner’s victory made the athlete an internationally recognized Olympic champion.

The 1976 decathlon performance was a major milestone in Jenner’s athletic career and preceded the family’s later fame in reality television. Jenner subsequently worked in television and public life before publicly transitioning and adopting the name Caitlyn Jenner in 2015.

The event should not be confused with a single track race or field event. The decathlon is a combined competition, and the Olympic gold medal was awarded for the overall result across all ten disciplines. Jenner’s medal was won at the 1976 Montreal Games, not at the 1980 Olympics.
