On July 30, 1976, American Caitlyn Jenner—who was competing as Bruce Jenner—wins gold in the men’s decathlon at the Montreal Olympics. Jenner’s 8,617 points set a world record in the event.
The secret to Jenner’s success was preparation. In the 1970s, most decathletes trained with other decathletes. Jenner, however, trained with some of the world’s best athletes in each of the 10 decathlon events.
Although the blond, chiseled, 6-foot-2-inch Nikolai Avilov, the world record-holder and 1972 Olympic champion from the Soviet Union, was considered nearly impossible to beat, Jenner’s intense training paid off at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. After the first day of competition, Jenner was in third place, 35 points off the pace and 17 points behind her rival.
With all of Jenner’s best events slated for the second day, though, Jenner was confident of victory. She later admitted thinking, “If I am within 150 points of the leader after five events, I’ll run away with it.”
On July 30, the next five events went exactly as hoped: Jenner ran efficiently in the 110-meter hurdles, set a personal best in the pole vault, threw the discus and the javelin well and sprinted the last 300 meters of the 1,500-meter event to seal a win. Jenner then took an impromptu victory lap with an American flag. Avilov finished third, almost 300 points behind the new champion.
After the win, Jenner enjoyed the unofficial title of “world’s greatest athlete” and appeared in movies, on television and, of course, adorned a Wheaties® box. Assigned male at birth, Jenner publicly came out as a trans woman in 2015.

I guess admin should be feeling pretty stupid with this being posted…. Bruce Jenner won….
Dumbass doesn’t get the fucking point of posting what History.com has on their site. Geez, some people are so fucking obtuse.
Glock doesn’t know anyone who’s ever been clueless.
I try not to soak myself in illusion,that’s why I come HERE!……
Jenner won the boobies prize.
Using the leftist language I see…..trying to be humorous????……missed by a mile!….
Makes me puke,you’re speaking in a new tongue……DELUSION!….
WORDS mean things!……
No, BRUCE JENNER won the decathlon. History does change just because of the current mental illness of the athlete.
I remember watching Jenner’s performances during the 1976 games and marveling at his peak physical conditioning and skill.
I later heard he used steroids to help improve his capabilities.
And when he came out as transgender, my first thoughts were of his steroid use and how significantly it must have contributed to completely screwing up his hormonal biochemistry and causing or stimulating any existing mental illness.
But he’s got a gold medal!!!
And I don’t…and I’m ok with that…I just truly feel sorry for him that he lost his way so very badly…
It’s truly amazing a woman won the men’s event. What an inspiration.
So it’s all be total horseshit. Women can beat men, they just have to train harder. 😎
Back in 1976 women were not allowed to compete in men’s events. When will the Olympic Committee strip Jenner of her medals?
Somewhere in the next realm, old man Kardashian is shaking his head, and wondering what the hell happened to his beautiful wife and daughters since he exited planet madness.
Auntie is concerned with the destruction of Freedom and Liberty, here and now, while the world remininces about those idyllic times when USA won lots of medals and sports heroes knew what toilet to use.
Bruce Jenner’s now-ancient accomplishment:
Hilarious.
So, if you are a man, and you accomplish something, like winning a game, your male achievements immediately convert into female acheivements when you declare you are a woman.
How long until natural born women are complaining that “women born male” are getting paid more?
Wait, who will they plead their case to?
One member of the supreme court can’t even identify what a woman is.
Right?!?,revisionist history…..
My mom would be worried about me. Again. She said she was worried that when I was born, I’d have to go off to war, which I likely will now that I’m retired; I’m just glad she didn’t live long enough to go through all of this.
Also On This Day:
Battle of Vercellae was an armed clash that took place on July 30, 101 BCE between the Roman legions led by Gaius Marius and the forces of the Germanic Cimbri tribe. The battle ended with a great defeat of the Germans. A year earlier, Marius defeated the Germanic Teutons and Ambros in the battle of Aquae Sextiae, who, together with the Cimbrians, invaded Roman territory.

Sports; A Testing Ground For Men (Fake Women) Competing Against Women
The entire political Left is banking on the success of the test; They’re doubling down against the common sense of millions of people; If they lose, they take a dagger to the heart

EXCERPT:
I’m going to show you how one heavy pillar of the House of Transgender is built.
Mark Harris of Outkick reports:
…now even the New York Times is admitting that men do not belong in women’s sports.
The Times—one of the more liberal mainstream outlets in the country—publishing a column titled “The Legal Foundation of Women’s Sports Is Under Fire” signals that there may be a change in dialogue on the horizon.
The Grey Whore runs a presstitution ring, darlings.
A disgusting recount of a truly magnificent moment.
It’s not Caitlyn for Christ’s sakes, it’s Bruce Jenner in drag
Bradley Manning, not Chelsea.
Bruce Jenner is definitely half the man that he used to be.
Good one. Now I’m going to have to stop using that phrase in reference to myself.
At least he had the integrity to compete against other men.
Who the fuck is Caitlin?
The MAN on the box is Bruce Jenner.
He apparently was hired much later as part of the “destroy America with sexual deviancy” operations.
