Bruce Jenner Olympics Success 

Bruce Jenner won the men's decathlon event for the United States in the year 1974 and was featured on the cover of Track & Field News magazine's August 1974 issue. While on tour in 1975, Jenner set the tournament record with 8,045 points, earning the French national championship and a gold medal at the Pan American Games. Following that, at the United States, Soviet Union, and Poland triangular meet in Eugene, Oregon, on August 9–10, 1975, world records of 8,524 points were established, shattering Avilov's record, and 8,538 points were set at the 1976 Olympic trials, also in Eugene. The second Eugene record was a hybrid score that was aided by the wind due to a timing system failure. Nonetheless, Jenner was pleased with herself, saying, "A good little exercise, huh?"

We were able to obtain what we desired. Only a month before the Games, we terrified the living daylights out of everyone on the planet. Jenner only lost one of the 13 decathlons he competed in between 1973 and 1976, in the 1975 AAU National Championships when a miss in the pole vault ruined his score.

Despite finishing second to Guido Kretschmer of West Germany in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Jenner set personal bests in all five events on the opening day of the men's decathlon — a "home run." Jenner felt sure of herself: "The second day is jam-packed with all of my favourite activities. If everything goes according to plan, we should come out ahead in the end." After watching colleague Fred Dixon get hurt in the 110-meter hurdles on the second day, Jenner took a conservative approach to the hurdles and discus, then set personal bests in the pole vault and javelin. At that moment, victory seemed very certain, but it was unclear how much Jenner would enhance his record. Jenner appeared delighted to end the long competition in the final event, the 1500 metres, which was shown live on national television. Jenner sprinted the final circuit, closing a 50-meter gap and coming close to catching the event favourite, Soviet Leonid Litvinenko, who was already out of contention for the gold medal but whose personal best was eight seconds faster than Jenner's before the race. Jenner won the gold medal with a world-record score of 8,618 points, setting a new personal best time.
