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.
Leyna Bloom does not agree with Caitlyn Jenner’s take on banning trans girls from competing in girls sports. Bloom, the first openly transgender woman of colour to appear in the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated, told ET Canada that Jenner’s opinions “shows her privilege.” “I think when Caitlyn Jenner has spoken about that, it just shows the nuance of what she has received and the privilege she has to say those things that people like me do not have,” Bloom said.
