I was 9yrs old when Bruce won the decathlon. Everyone looked up to him, and admired him. I remember him being on the Wheaties box forever. GOD bless you Jenner.
I got his autograph at a San Jose Dairy Queen in 1976.
@@markmnorcal That's cool.
I was 8 years old too and remember watching it on TV. Also remember the Wheeties box well, I asked my mom to get it.
I have a photo of him, my wife and me when he came to France for a septembre décathlon in 1976
Twelve years, TWELVE years, this man trained for the olympics. Twelve straight years. Every minute of every day, of every week, of every month , of every year.....I can't even imagine that kind of discipline. That is so impossible to me. This man sacrificed everything for his dream. His teenage years and his twenties were nothing but training and then some. It's just mind blowing, it really is. His family will never be able to even comprehend that part of his life. What he lived back then and his life now couldn't be more extremely different. Not that that's a bad thing. He just actually had to WORK to get where he is at. He is the epitome of hard work.
Yes
I couldn't do what he did. It was unbelievable. Respect for him 100%
Ask a 5 year old gymnast that after they stop at 16 and after the olympics what that feels like. Dominique Dawes has competed in 3 consecutive olympics and metaled in all three not to mention the first 12 years was training for the first olympic games they competed in.
Bruce totally kicked ass.
As far as i can tell it was more like 8 years
Maybe that's why he went crazy
This was the same Olympic games where Nadia Comaneci scored all of those perfect tens. This was undoubtedly the greatest Olympic games during my lifetime. What a summer it was... the 4th of July revelry, the bicentennial celebrations and the most amazing summer Olympics imaginable.
Yes I remember those games as well. For me it was 1988 , USA and USSR were back after going in the huff
@@KF-cx8bm
Was that the one where the 100m sprinter beat Carl Lewis and later got busted for doping? Ben Johnson!
@@alantaylor6691 yes, that's the one
Mine too. I was 11 and remember the whole family watching. I remember Nadia's performances. Ive watched the Olympics since then but that was the only time they seemed magical
The 1988 one was better. I know it was full of cheats but the excitement..
If somebody told me in 1976 that Bruce Jenner would have a sex change and O.J. Simpson would be in prison for murder, I would have laughed in their face.
OJ never went to prison for murder
And Bill Cosby in jail..
Seriously Mike! I am 29 and I even think this
OJ was found innocent
255 likes for a false statement, probably why so many are innocent and in prison
The most heartbreaking aspect of this saga is losing "the man," Bruce. He was an icon, a hero, a superstar. Now, he represents the harsh reality of grappling with mental health issues... and losing.
Jenner is bright, intelligent, well spoken, had and is having a great career, is enjoying his family, seems very happy in his body now, have you listened to his talks, what mental issues exactly ? To feel good in your skin is something many regular folks, who havent endured a gender change, cannot even boast. Think and study before judging.
Bruce Jenner was my teen age hero. What he wanted to do,he did, all the way.
It is more sane to me than guys with balls allowed to compete versus girls for the reason they feel like girls inside.
Remember when Bruce was on the breakfast Wheaties cereal box back when we could still look at him when we ate?
But Bruce is less sick than the insane bunch who want men swimming against women.
He had gorgeous hair

I miss Bruce bro. Thank God we have these video clips of his Olympic moment.
Look up Pre Fontaine.
I miss him Today in 2024.
I, had absolutely no concept what Jenner did or was famous for other than being married to KK and being Transgender. Wow! Jenner, was a big deal back then..
He sure was. I was a little kid and had a crush on him
Kris jenner wanted to be married to Bruce because he was so famous. She was a nobody.
@@lifeissweet9826 how would u know ☠️
Indeed. I never knew either that he was an Olympic athlete. Jason Statham was to, a diver!
@@FreedomofSpeech865
I read that Jenner's picture was on Wheaties Cereal box and he was a huge American Hero, back when Dinosaurs roamed the earth..
Who knew??
Bruce was in the zone. It took a perfect day to break the record. This video shows Bruce in every event. That's what I was looking for. Everyone should see this performance at least once. Now I see why Bruce was on all those Wheaties boxes!
Jenner on the Norm McDonald podcast is a great interview. Instantly disarmed me with "I'm not a woman, I'm a trans woman". Hey, Fair enough. And then tells of training for the events we just watched here. What a machine.
The 400 is absolutely an endurance event! Its basically a continuous sprint, and is often regarded as one of the most exhausting events in track.
400 is the worst. Painwise.
We were so proud of Bruce back then and still are today. What a winner for the US. You never hear much about him now in 2021 but for decades he was so well known.
Well i think he has a different identity these days.
Bruce Jenner was a very handsome man so sad he died :(
He didn't die.. He's catilyn Jenner now (sorry if spelt wrong)

Think of it this way he is the first woman to win the men's decathlon
🤣😂😅
Lmao, he was a man during the Olympics
He still is a man. Biology dont lie. I'll call him a she for respect tho. Just because u say that ur something doesn't mean you are something. I can't say Im a girl and play against them in athletic events and just dominate.

@@andrewsallee3060 that’s his point exactly, he’s being sarcastic
Aww he looked so bummed the first go around. Glad he came back to the next one and won it!
So inspiring.. he was so dedicated. 🙏👍🙌🙌🙌 great video
Thanks for posting this.
Yep, the woman who supported him through all this was dumped immediately afterwards. A true left-hander, he is.
*****
Anyone mentally and emotionally capable of such heartlessness is capable of ANYTHING. Btw, he was knee-deep in the drug operation that ended in OJ Simpson being framed for murder in the 90's. Indeed, this is a very dirty guy.
I know him as an athlete and a stepdad. Ive never watched the Olympics since I was born in '85. It would be so easy to say that these haters are plain ignorant when I think they are just misinformed and uneducated. Keep an open mind. Not knowing who you are is hard enough for any person but having to go thru what he went thru.. Not everyone will be brave enough to face and deal with it.. in public. we are who we are, as part of the human race, we just need to respect them.
To @pennylane518: A man can NOT become a woman, ever, and vice versa. What Bruce has done, and is doing, is living out his sexual fetish in public. There is no such thing as a trans woman, because men can NOT transition into women. Telling the truth is NOT being a “hater, or mis-informed, or uneducated.” Who said anything about disrespecting Bruce? Bruce can live any way he wants to, but I draw the line at anyone making me pretend that Biology 101 does NOT exist, and go along with their mental illness.
Amazing man .. that’s the Bruce ..the hero we grew up with ! Thanks for the memories ❤
Good luck to you, Bruce. Do what makes you happy.
Thank you. Everyone else are such assholes.

Fantastic coverage of Bruce!! Amazing person!
I was a 7 year old Montreal resident in 1976 and this was all magical! I was taken to see gymnastics and I clearly remember this decathlon win. If you ever visit Montreal and the Olympic grounds (Biodome, insectarium, planetarium) be sure to take a walk over to the Olympic Village. It still has its MidCentury Modern look and in the east building are a grocery store, hair dresser and a couple of little restaurants-even a tiny second hand store!
The ‘kick’ on the back straight in the 1500m is one of the most amazing moments in sports, not just Olympics, history. It was Usain Bolt 2008 Level of superhuman that is so rare, the highlights would be less than 1 hour.
-The Romanian gymnast Comaneci’s perfect 10 on the Uneven Bars.
-Federer & Nadal at Wimbledon when the light was fading.
-Tiger at his first Masters bowing the field away to become the youngest winner with largest margin of victory with lowest score ever, & hugging his Dad, over 20 years later, hugging his kids after winning there for his first major, nevermind Masters, in a decade+.
-1980 ice hockey Olympic Final USA beating USSR.
But most people under 50 are unaware of Jenner’s...that’s the sad part.
Hard to believe he wants to be a woman but I have to give it to him he worked hard!! Kudos to you Bruce.

Transphobe
Some of you are asking what happened to the man you once admired, and its so simple. Nothing 'happened' the man in this video wanted to be a woman before this was even recorded or thought about. He was badass then he's badass now.
Wow, I am truly inspired. I think I'm going to start training as a track runner and just try to get in the best physical shape for my health and enjoyment of it. Bruce Jenner was The athlete of the world in 1976. May God bless his soul.
Her soul you transphobe
This video made me think the same. Im about to hop on my bicycle and start pedaling just for the sake of it and my phyiscal shape
Incredible that this extraordinary athlete is today Kathlyn Jenner!!!!
these were great docs.
What in God's name happened to this guy? He was a fine young man. He was a dedicated, hard-working heterosexual man and an Olympic Champion. He devoted his life for 12 years to this task and now he is making a mockery of this guy!! He is hanging around these dregs (the Kardashian's) and supposedly turning into a woman?? WTF????
You wanna know what happened to him? Kris Jenner happened to him. He spent over two decades trapped in that house full of females who got attention, fame, and fortune because they were attractive women...their entire brand was based off of their appearance...and that trumped Bruce's Olympic accomplishments. Is it so hard to believe subliminally he brain computed that exposure into having the thought that he felt inadequate the way he was? All that estrogen exposure and constant vanity those women had, conditioned his psyche to want to become like them.
You don't walk out of that family as a healthy man. Lamar became addicted to crack cocaine and oxycontin...Rob became a sizzurp guzzling, pot smoking, bloated hippo who is so insecure he avoided his sister's wedding to avoid having photos taken of him. With all things considered, we should consider it a miracle he hasn't gone gay along with becoming a woman. He's a heterosexual male right now...soon to be a lesbian. It's a shame.
y'all are morons. he doesn't hang around the kardashians. they're his fucking family. transgender =/= lesbian. being around women does not make you transgender. you should be happy a seemingly nice person is finally comfortable with being himself. you make me sick.
IKR!
I remember screaming at the TV watching this. I always screamed at the tv😂😂😂 when the Olympics were on❤❤❤
This was an interesting watch....i wasnt even born yet but i remembered hearing about him on a Wheaties box from my older siblings. I never uderstood what the big deal was. He definitely made his mark in history. Awesome!
Bruce you are great no matter who you are right now...
Must be very hard life as you...
I am so proud of you.
Great doco on a sporting legend.

Best athlete to date,noone else has done it as far as I know!!!No matter what or how fast someone is,best athlete in Olympic history!!!!
You mean the most publicity inflated hyped up Athlete. Any Top 50 Olympics Decathlon of today would beat 1976 Bruce Jenner easily.
Thank you for this. A very interesting documentary on an incredible Olympic performance. The Montreal Olympics was a turning point for Australia. We did worse at that Olympics than any other. We won one silver medal and 4 bronze. It was by far the worst performance an Australian team had ever delivered. I remember being in my school hall and watching the 1500 mens swim and Stephen Holland was our great hope for a gold - but it was not to be. As a result of this Olympics Australia suddenly realised we could not longer rely on talented amateurs so the government set up the Institute of Sport and we have done much better ever since - especially in the pool.
Lies again? Watching My Mom Go Black
@@NazriB Huh?
Gosh I just LOVE Bruce! I HOPE I get his autograph one day.
he's now a woman
@@riptideog8783 That's...not possible.
I've only just discovered Jenner now an what he did as was before my time but its friggin inspiring how he knew he wasn't right in his soul and thought it was about them medal but in fact its far deeper than just winning gold for him...me personally I'd be happy to just achieve one event win. I guess thats what makes a true champion, to want gold in everything.
P.s....at the start of the doco i swear those russians kissed😂, sadly them days a man was hard strong with no weak emotion allowed to be shown. Nowadays vulnerability is seen as a strength.
I have more respect and admiration for Jenner now than ever before. "If" he truly is changing his gender, God bless him. Be true to who and what you are inside. Can you comprehend the courage it took to finally accept himself and to finally say fuck it, I have one life and got to be true to myself. Screw what everybody else thinks. They're not the ones living your misery. LIVE TRUTH, Bruce. Love and truth are the most powerful and lasting energies in the universe. God bless.....a fan of your athleticism and an admirer of your courage!
I was a Jr in high school when he did that and I remember how much I wanted to be like him. Not any more!
Love the 70's music!
Bruce Jenner has always been my hero and a hero to the United States. I was 15 watching him and the entire country stopped everything to watch his final few events!!
Brilliant. What an amazing life story.
Thank SJCC Track and the San Jose Community of Athletes.... All the best... remember you running the fields and your wife out there...
RIP Bruce. We'll miss ya breh.
Not sure where Manic Movies got this copy (perhaps from Library of Congress, which had one), but it is a very high-quality upload of the original, which I produced and directed for General Mills/Wheaties. Gives a nice portrait of Jenner when he was a man (I think!). I guess he's still a man, but claims to be a woman trapped in a man's body. In the words of a friend, our "takeaway from the touching portion of Jenner's interview with Dianne Sawyer on ABC-TV's "20/20" is that his very public journey will help other transgenders go through their traumatic experience." I wish him all the best. He was fun to work with, and surely is/was an Olympic Champion!
It is tough for many Olympic athletes to feel the highs and accolades from the public for one year. If they are living for the approval of the public, then they will live a long depressed life.
I think your on to something Todd
Top shelf elite athlete!
Holy smokes he was smokin' back then. What a champion! So virile and masculine. His first wife was quoted as saying that he had no idea how good looking he was.
When I saw photos of him circa Khardasian, I was saddened by his "plastic" and rather unnatural appearance.
Fast forward to now, I hope Jenner is more at peace and on a happier path now. 🧡🧡
ONE OF MY IDOLS
He, Him, Bruce. Prove me wrong.
I was 7 years old and Ive always remembered this. I dont remember it all or it clearly but I do remember the pole vault and the run. I also remember all the excitement it brought to America. Ive looked at Bruce as a heroic figure my entire life. That hasn't changed. What he has done lately just proves he has a heart and a will like steel. People should take pride in him for the her she has become.
BTW who is that bouncy blonde cheering for him?
+Daehawk *"People should take pride in him for the her she has become."* - Nope. I will still call this dude Bruce, not Caitlyn!
@@kigawman. Agreed! 🇺🇸❤️🙏

smithraymond09029 He stepped out of the Wheaties box and became a real person.
Don’t idolize people 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ simple as that. Celebrities are real people and aren’t gonna be exactly who you want them to be. They are human beings.
"And the world shall know his name".
Caitlyn.
His whole life, until a few years ago, his name would be preceded by the words "Olympic Gold Medal Winner." Now they are replaced by "Reality TV Star." Unfortunate.
NOT True!!
I believe there are Millions of people around the world (despite of the Kardashians and any demons he's fighting to overcome) that will forever associate the name Bruce Jenner with Olympic Gold Medalist '76 Decathalon.
