Jenner can be seen reflecting on their recent olympic triumph in an Interview with Johnny Carson. Following Jenner's gold medal win, they were seen by many as the embodiment of masculinity and the ultimate alpha male who many people aspired to be. This alone is evident when looking at some of the comments of this very interview where fans have taken it upon themselves to state: "The chiseled jawline and body built like a Greek statue. Bruce really was the face of masculinity in the 70s", in such a way that almost appears to idolise his 'masculinity'.

The winner of the first decathlon in 1912: Jim Thorpe. Thorpe was one of Jenners biggest inspirations behind their decathlon career. Jenner too aspired to be 'the world greatest athlete'.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Jim Thorpe has been reinstated as the sole winner of the 1912 Olympic pentathlon and decathlon in Stockholm - nearly 110 years after being stripped of those gold medals for violations of strict amateurism rules of the time.

The International Olympic Committee announced the change Friday on the 110th anniversary of Thorpe winning the decathlon and later being proclaimed by King Gustav V of Sweden as "the greatest athlete in the world".

Thorpe, a Native American, returned to a ticker-tape parade in New York, but months later it was discovered he had been paid to play minor league baseball over two summers, an infringement of the Olympic amateurism rules. He was stripped of his gold medals in what was described as the first major international sports scandal.

Thorpe to some remains the greatest all-around athlete ever. He was voted as the Associated Press' Athlete of the Half Century in a poll in 1950.

In 1982 - 29 years after Thorpe's death - the IOC gave duplicate gold medals to his family but his Olympic records were not reinstated, nor was his status as the sole gold medalist of the two events.

Two years ago, a Bright Path Strong petition advocated declaring Thorpe the outright winner of the pentathlon and decathlon in 1912. The IOC had listed him as a co-champion in the official record book.

"We welcome the fact that, thanks to the great engagement of Bright Path Strong, a solution could be found," IOC president Thomas Bach said. "This is a most exceptional and unique situation, which has been addressed by an extraordinary gesture of fair play from the National Olympic Committees concerned."

Thorpe's Native American name, Wa-Tho-Huk, means "Bright Path". The organization with the help of IOC member Anita DeFrantz had contacted the Swedish Olympic Committee and the family of Hugo Wieslander, who had been elevated to decathlon gold medalist in 1913.

"They confirmed that Wieslander himself had never accepted the Olympic gold medal allocated to him, and had always been of the opinion that Jim Thorpe was the sole legitimate Olympic gold medalist," the IOC said, adding that the Swedish Olympic Committee agreed.

"The same declaration was received from the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports, whose athlete, Ferdinand Bie, was named as the gold medalist when Thorpe was stripped of the pentathlon title," the IOC said.

Bie will be listed as the silver medalist in the pentathlon, and Wieslander with silver in the decathlon.

World Athletics, the governing body of track and field, has also agreed to amend its records, the IOC said.

Bright Path Strong commended the IOC for "setting the record straight" about the Sac and Fox and Potawatomi athlete.

"We are so grateful this nearly 110-year-old injustice has finally been corrected, and there is no confusion about the most remarkable athlete in history," said Nedra Darling, the organization co-founder and citizen of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.

As the first Native American to win an Olympic gold medal for the United States, Thorpe "has inspired our people for generations," said Fawn Sharp, president of the National Congress of American Indians.

In Stockholm, Thorpe tripled the score of his nearest competitor in the pentathlon and had 688 more points than the second-placed finisher in the decathlon.

During the closing ceremony, King Gustav V told Thorpe: "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world."

Within her documentary Caitlyn discusses another key motivator for her decathlon career: Nikolai avilov, decathlon athlete from the Soviet Union. Often when we up at celebrities that we idealise we place them on a pedastal higher than anyone else, making it seem unnatural to imagine that they too may do the same thing as us. To us it is unimaginable that anyone can come above them. By sharing this information with us, stars like Caitlyn Jenner become more relatable as it allows audiences to draw more parallels from our own lives to theirs.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Caitlyn Jenner episode of Netflix's new sports documentary series, Untold, zeroes in on the reality star and decathlete's long, arduous road to Olympic gold at the 1976 games. But her episode also touches on the one rival athlete that she was intensely focused on beating for the title of World's Greatest Athlete that year - Nikolai Avilov, the Soviet decathlete who won gold in the 1972 Olympic decathlon.

The decathlon is a 10-event feat that takes place over two days, including the 100-meter dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400-meter dash, 110-meter hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, and 1,500-meter run.

Avilov started out playing basketball before he began training as a high jumper in 1962, according to the official Olympics website. He switched to the decathlon in 1966 and was selected for the Soviet Olympic team in 1968, where he finished fourth. In 1972, he won Olympic gold, where he first caught the eye of Caitlyn Jenner.

As Jenner explains in Untold: Caitlyn Jenner, she became devoted to the idea of winning an Olympic medal after watching Avilov's Olympic gold medal ceremony from the stands at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. Jenner had also competed in the decathlon that year but not made it onto the podium.

"I didn't have a chance. I got tenth. But then the most significant thing happened after," she explains in the episode. "I wanted to stay around to watch the ceremony. I'd never seen an Olympic gold medal ceremony happening right in front of me. I stood up on the side and I watched this guy, Nikolai Avilov of the Soviet Union, and I was totally impressed with this human being [who'd] just won the decathlon and watched him receive his medal. I said to myself, 'That's it. That's what I want right there.'"

From that day forward, Jenner was committed to standing on that podium where Avilov had stood.

"After he came home, Bruce talked about Avilov a lot. I remember Bruce talking about Avilov as godlike," Jenner's first wife Chrystie Scott says in the doc, using Caitlyn Jenner's former name.

"He had such a big impact on my life," Jenner adds. "He had good skills, he was talented, he had obviously worked hard, but mentally he was extraordinarily strong. He had everything. He was from the Soviet Union in the middle of the Cold War. The Soviet Union would have athletic camps for young kids where they're trained and they're worked and they're put into sports schools and they're going cultivate these great athletes. That was Avilov."

Jenner explains in the doc that ever since she was young, she had had a sense that she was trans - but she didn't know what that meant at the time or what to do about it. She says she tried to combat those feelings by throwing all her energy into competing against Avilov. She would relax herself from her inner struggles by going skating to feel the fresh air.

"I had this war going on inside me: 'Are you really trans? Are you gay?' I didn't know anything about that, so you just keep your mouth shut," she says. "But I thought, 'What if I take the next four years of my life and every minute of every day I test myself to see how good I could become at something?' An opportunity to prove myself, prove my masculinity, prove myself to the world that I'm a worthwhile human being. If I can win an Olympic gold medal, maybe I can prove these issues don't even exist."

Jenner did go on to best Avilov at the 1976 Olympic games in Montréal, crushing his world record in the decathlon with a whopping 8,618 points - 164 points higher than Avilov's, according to the Associated Press. Jenner walked away with the gold, while Avilov got the bronze.

Avilov retired from the sport in 1980 after missing the cut to qualify for the Soviet Olympic team that year, according to the Olympics website, which adds that after his retirement, he went on to become an athletics coach in the Ukraine, Iraq, China, Egypt and the Seychelles. In 1971, he married fellow Olympian Valentyna Kozyr, who won the bronze medal for the high jump in 1968.

Jenner's sporting success didn't stop at an olympic gold medal; that was just the beginning. After taking part in their first celebrity motor race in 1979, Bruce Jenner decided to take their career professional as little as 10 months later. since identifying as Caitlyn Jenner, the star has continued to show an interest in the sport and has even presented some motorsports events.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Wherever you stand on gender politics, you have to admit that the Caitlyn Jenner saga is mind-boggling. Nothing like it has ever happened in American history. Bruce was an Olympic champion, Wheaties cereal box hero, ubiquitous metaphor for #winning, husband to Kris Kardashian and-oh hell, you know the rest. But the media has ignored one of the saga's most interesting narrative threads, certainly for car nerds: Caitlyn Jenner the speed freak. Yes, she was a professional racing driver, with a remarkable story that was most definitely legit.

It goes something like this:

The 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal made 25-year-old Bruce Jenner an instant American hero. Jenner won a gold medal in the decathlon, but that just kick-started his fame. He had the looks. He had the charisma. And, he had beaten the Russians! He was invited to the White House, and got his mug on Wheaties boxes. He signed endorsement deals for shoes, clothes, bicycles, weight-lifting equipment, and Minolta cameras. In short, he became rich. "I'm very fortunate," he told People magazine in 1980. "I now no longer have to do things I don't want to do."

So what did he want to do? Ride his jet ski, sail his boat, fly his six-passenger airplane. In April 1979, Jenner got invited to compete in a celebrity motor race, as a prelude to the Formula 1 Long Beach Grand Prix. He took the lead from Fred Dryer (6'6" defense end for the Los Angeles Rams) in the second lap of a short race on the street circuit, and went on to win, defeating Clint Eastwood and actress Jayne Kennedy (who had small parts on "Wonder Woman" and "Trapper John, M.D.," among other roles). Jenner was "scared to death," he said afterwards. But he was also hooked. The Gods of velocity had spoken to him.

This is where the story becomes remarkable.

Jenner studied the craft, and went out to Riverside in California to test with a pro team, headed by Jim Busby. As Busby said, he had to "determine whether or not [Jenner] actually was a racing car driver." It turns out, Jenner had some talent, and he took instruction well. He made his debut as a professional in Busby's mid-engine BMW M1 at the 24 Hours of Daytona just 10 months after that first celebrity race (the team placed 56th).

Ever watched the 24 Hours of Daytona? It's not an arena for amateurs. It is the sort of real professional racing where people who can't hack it can get killed. According to Busby, Jenner was cracking 200 mph in the March M1. "He looked very smooth," said Busby. "We wanted him to run at a two-minute pace, and you could have set your watch by his consistency. I was quite impressed. He took to it like a veteran."

Here's some in-car and out-of-car footage from Jenner's second professional outing, a month later at the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Jenner went on to compete professionally for much of the 1980s. He teamed with serious hot-shoes, from Scott Pruett to Arie Luyendyk to Scott Goodyear, with a total of 57 starts, according to racingsportscars.com. The thing is, he was never fast enough to leave his celebrity behind; at the racetrack, he was considered a star first and a driver second. "It is because of my name and the amount of media coverage I can bring to Ford and 7-Eleven...that it is much easier for me to get good equipment," he was quoted in a 1985 Los Angeles Times story called "The Vote Is Still Out on Jenner as a Driver."

"Bruce was a gentleman," says Randy Lanier, a champion sports car driver in the 1980s who remembers meeting Jenner in the early days. "He was polite, he was respectful, and he was respected on the track." He didn't win much, but, as Lanier says, "If you want to be a winner in racing, you got to eat, drink, talk, sleep racing." Still, you have to hand it to Jenner: It took balls to compete professionally. What no one knew at the time was that Jenner was already working on transitioning, even back in the 1980s.

Scott Pruett recently described Jenner in his racing days as a "studly jock." "I wish him well with whatever makes him happy," Pruett told the New York Daily News in February. "He's always been nothing but supportive and helpful to me and I wish the same back to him."

Could there be a Jenner comeback? Bring the speed, Caitlyn.

By Simon Mundie Host of the Don't Tell Me The Score podcast

Last updated on . From the section Athletics

"I remember getting up the next morning and walking to the bathroom without a stitch of clothes on. The gold medal was sitting there on the table. I put it around my neck, looked in the mirror and asked myself... 'Am I stuck with this person the rest of my life?'"

In 2019, Caitlyn Jenner is probably the most recognisable transgender woman in the world, largely due to her family's reality TV series 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'.

Her story of transitioning from Bruce Jenner, the 26-year-old all-American hero with a 1976 Montreal Olympics decathlon gold medal, to 70-year-old LGBT icon and vocal trans-activist, has been well told.

Fame, film and TV careers, three marriages, six children and then 2017 gender reassignment all followed.

"I have the great double. Olympic decathlon champion and Glamour's woman of the year," Jenner jokes.

In an era where the debate around trans athletes competing at elite level is one of the most divisive issues in sport , Jenner tells the BBC about her lifelong experiences of gender dysphoria and the importance of the Olympics "taking the issue seriously".

Speaking in an exclusive interview for BBC Radio 4's Don't Tell Me The Score podcast , Jenner recalls the turmoil immediately after her Olympic glory.

"Did you build up this person so big," Jenner remembers thinking, "that you're stuck with him the rest of your life? It was scary.

"People suffering from gender dysphoria [a mismatch between someone's biological sex and their gender identity], is basically like being born right-handed or left-handed. It's just who you are. It's something I didn't understand, especially growing up in the 1950s and 60s."

As a child Caitlyn says she would "sneak around" in her mother's clothes. She struggled at school with dyslexia and low self-esteem. But through sport, she became a champion water skier, a star American basketball player, then through decathlon, an Olympic champion.

But once the afterglow from the 1976 games started to wear off, Caitlyn's gender dysphoria became all-consuming.

Jenner entered therapy in the 1980s and planned to transition before she was 40, but eventually decided she couldn't go through with it.

She soon met Kris Kardashian and became step-father to Kourtney, Kim and Khloe. They had two more daughters together, Kylie and Kendall.

The marriage broke down, and Jenner once again considered transitioning.

"Now things were different," Jenner says, "and what a great opportunity to make a genuine contribution to understanding in society when you're playing in the fourth quarter of life."

In 2015, Jenner appeared on the front cover of Vanity Fair as a transgender woman, and was awarded with the Arthur Ashe courage award at the ESPY awards in America, the equivalent of the Oscars for sports.

She has been living as a woman for five years now.

Asked what her greatest achievement has been, Jenner says: "I would have to put my identity as higher. It was tougher to do. I trained 12 years for the Olympic Games. I trained 65 years to transition in 2015.

"It was less accepted. Everyone loved the Games. A lot of people when they see you transition hate your guts. Look at the quotes on Instagram. By far that was a lot more difficult.

"Being gender dysphoric and dyslexic- that's what made me down the line. When I got into sports, it became more important for me to succeed at sports and work hard at sports because of all these issues.

"I look at a lot of people who are successful, and then you look back on their lives and it's 'Oh my God, this is what you were struggling with when you were younger'.

"I don't have to sneak around anymore. I don't have to have two suitcases, one for him one for her.

"I'm glad I had all those issues. They say success is not measured by heights obtained but by obstacles overcome."

Jenner has faced criticism from trans-rights activists for her politics and support of US President Donald Trump.

She admits that the backlash "does hurt" and that she does read some of the social media abuse, but "wants all the other trans people out there to use their platform".

On her own trans campaigning, she adds: "Has it been easy? Not even close. I've raised about $2.6m and given it away to trans organisations. A lot of them are extraordinarily appreciative of it. On the other hand sometimes they're having their big fundraiser and say 'Oh please don't show up - you're too controversial'."

With the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on the horizon, a number of high-profile female athletes have said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete in female competitions, arguing women born biological male retain a competitive advantage in some sport - and calling for more research from sport's governing bodies into the issue.

Trans athletes claim they should not be blocked from participating in sport, and some have claimed the science around physical benefits is still unclear.

The current IOC guidelines state that transgender women must suppress testosterone levels for at least 12 months before competition - although they are working on new guidance to "strike the right balance between fair and equal competition and non-discrimination".

Jenner added: "I think they should do exactly what they are doing. The International Olympic Committee is the only organisation who has taken this issue seriously for many many years.

"Everyone deserves a right to be able to compete, and so they started coming up with hormone levels so now trans people can compete. Nobody has made an Olympic team yet.

"I think the most important thing is people that are different, people that are dealing with trans issues and stuff like that- I think they deserve an opportunity to play sports. Sports was very very good to me. We should not deny them of that opportunity. But also we should look at it closely and almost deal with it on an individual basis. But the Olympic committee is doing a good job."

Gentle Man's quarterly Magazine cover featuring Bruce Jenner.

GQ Typically holds a large emphasis on masculinity and what it is to be a man, which is evident from the masthead and inclusion of coverlines such as "'man's grooming guide" and "getting your body to shape". The tone of this magazine suggests there is a certain way in which to be masculine, implying that there is limitations to masculinity and how a man should and shouldn't act. Here Bruce is seen to take pride in his image, dressed in a smart suit with buttons undone revealing his chest hair - perhaps a deliberate attempt to show of more of those features that are thought to make one appear or become more 'manly'.

Caitlyn Jenner launches 'Fairness First' PAC to 'keep boys out of women's sports' after taking to twitter to discuss issues of transgender women participating sports - An issue closely aligned with the values of the star, being a transgender sporting personality herself.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Caitlyn Jenner announced on Tuesday that she has launched a political action committee called "Fairness First" amid heightened anger with transgender women participating in men's sports.

"Today I publicly launch Fairness First PAC to fight the radical gender ideology, put parental rights at the forefront of education, and keep boys out of women's sports," the Olympic gold medalist tweeted.

"We are a movement, non-partisan in nature, with the intention of empowering parental rights especially in light of radical gender ideology infiltrating our children in school - especially in sports and the classroom," the Fairness First website reads. "We value protecting young children, and the parental rights associated with having your young child go through the indoctrinating instruction in school and unfair advantages of biological boys competing against girls in sports."

"Fairness First is prepared to fight on behalf of parents and their children," reads the PAC's action plan. "Our plan is simple. We will protect our children by rejecting radical gender ideology in our schools and in youth sports, from the top of the ballot to the bottom."

Jenner recently supported a school in Vermont for pulling out of a girls' playoff basketball game against an opponent with a transgender player.

"The radical left and their radical gender ideology have really tried to, over the years, blur that line between men and women and affected us not only with transgender issues, but everything, and I just don't feel like that's a good thing," Jenner argued. "There is a difference between men and women and that is a good thing. We should honor that."

The Seattle student came in 18th place with a time of 20:31.3 in a 5,000-meter race in November. Had the sophomore competed in the boys division, her time would have given her a 145th-place finish.

"We have to keep it fair," Jenner, a Fox News contributor, said on "America Reports" at the time. "This issue is not going to go away, but I really feel the state of Washington has to make it a little bit tougher. They cannot just identify [as transgender] and then compete against the women...

"Meaning, you just identify as being trans and you can compete on the women's team," Jenner said. "Now, they made this rule because they thought it was more consistent with the Washington State's nondiscrimination laws that they had out there. I have been from the beginning...out for that, like that fourth place woman who is trying to make it to the state championships. But there's a trans athlete in there in the top three that doesn't allow her to be able to go do that, fulfill her dreams, maybe get a scholarship down the line. We have to keep it fair."

Caitlyn Jenner's collaboration with MAC cosmetics (2016).

This collaboration is particularly interesting when placed in comparison to Brand endorsements that Bruce Jenner was a part of. MAC is a well known, global cosmetics brand that is likely known by the majority of women, weather or not they are first hand consumers of the brand itself or know it trough other avenue. Nevertheless, for this reason enough to state the claim that MAC itself acts as an embodiment of femininity and having Caitlyn Jenner as the face of this Brand is crucial for her 'new' star image as a woman.

H&M on Thursday has found a face for its H&M Sport line and that person is Caitlyn Jenner.

Jenner took to social media to confirm the news: "Backstage with ‪@hm! So proud to be part of their inspiring ‪#HMSport campaign. ‪#MoreIsComing ‪#StayTuned" The 66-year-old Olympian also shared a photo from the campaign.

It wasn't until an knee injury they were confronted with on January 2nd, 1969 that it was suggested his talents may be better used in the decathlon. Here he went on to have some of the most athletic thrills of his life https://www.netflix.com/watch/81026436?trackId=255824129&tctx=0%2C0%2C082a86ea-0319-481d-9276-37c27b31b1c6-24146506%2C082a86ea-0319-481d-9276-37c27b31b1c6-24146506%7C2%2Cunknown%2C%2C%2CtitlesResults%2C81026436%2CVideo%3A81026436%2CminiDpPlayButton

While in high school, Bruce Jenner three times won the Eastern States water ski championship and placed well in the Connecticut State High School track & field meet, but he gave no indication that he would one day become the world's greatest athlete. Jenner went to tiny Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa, on a football scholarship, but shortly took up the decathlon and only one year later qualified for the 1972 Olympic team. After placing 10th in the 1972 Olympic decathlon, Jenner won the 1974 AAU title and in 1975 he was PanAm champion and set a world record (8,524) in the triangular meet with the USSR and Poland. In 1976, Jenner won his second AAU title and crowned a brilliant career by taking the Olympic gold medal with a new world record of 8,618 points. The charismatic Jenner became a television and movie personality as soon as his competitive days were over. After splitting with his first wife, he married Linda Thompson, who was Elvis Presley's girlfriend when that legend passed away in 1977. After that marriage ended in divorce, Jenner married Kris Kardashian, ex-wife of Robert Kardashian, one of O. J. Simpson's lawyers, and star of a reality television series in the United States.

Her body language alone is entirely feminine; her arms crossed and tucked away behind her back. The camera is tilted slightly above the stars head to appear as though she is looking up at the audience almost adding to a sense of submission that she is demonstrating. This may be seen as a deliberate attempt to appose any previous, hyper-masculine portrayals of her has bruce. As an athlete however Bruce was often pictured to be showing off his arms to excentuate his muscular build rather than to hide it as in this case with caitlyn. It could be inferred that she is playing into a more conventional role as a female here, expressing her vulnerability in both her body language and sexualised costume - using her femininity here as a commodity to be sold and celebrated.

Stars are involved in making themselves into commodities; they are both labour and the thing labour produces.” Richard Dyer (1986) Heavenly Bodies: p.5. - Celebrities use social media to create persistent streams of content, competing for the highest audience numbers.  An attentive audience is a potent symbol of status, power and economic value which is particularly important in todays age of shrinking attention economies.
