1976: Bruce Jenner at the
Montreal Olympics
In
July of 1976, Bruce Jenner, once dubbed the "world's greatest
athlete,” set a record in the men's
decathlon and won a gold medal at the Olympics Games in Montreal. Jenner beat
Soviet runner Mykola Avilov, who had dominated the Cold War-era games. In 2015,
Jenner came out as a transgender woman, and now goes by Caitlyn. Here, Jenner is
pictured celebrating in a photo by Tony Duffy.
