Bruce Jenner running the 1500M, the last of 10events

- everyone should be fortunate enough to hear the minute by minute description of these two days by my dad... he had realized he only had 4 minutes left to his life as he knew it, 4 minutes left of pain... in 4 minutes he would have the gold but after all that work he realized in 4minutes he had a shot at history and the record books... so he let his feet go and forgot all about his game plan...
I always wonder about this 4 minutes... would I be here writing about it if he hadn't laid it all out? would I have been born in Malibu CA or San Jose CA? would my dad still be selling insurance like most Olympians do after winning gold? would you even know who "the Kardashians" are?
I honestly dont think so... - Спорт
76 was the year I graduated from high school and I watched this event live at a sports bar. Bruce Jenner inspired me to give up drugs and train like the way I did before a bike accident two years prior. I never had any Olympic delusions but manged to do a 4:12 mile, bench press 245, and swim 100m under water, 34 minute 10K. Not bad for someone who wiegh 152lbs. Thanks for sharing this Bruce Jenner will always be one of my heros... Sincerly Wildman
Hopefully he didnt inspire you to become a Wildwoman.
an hd turned out so cute....
back then this was as close to Superman as anyone dreamed of in real life and every boy wanted to grow up to be Bruce : super talented , super athletic , superstar , all American good looking boy
I don't think many boys want to be like Bruce now
You know that he was on steroids, right?
He went from 10th place to 1st. This just isn't possible without doping.
I am 100 percent certain of it.
I know that I might get some backlash for this statement but I just want to say that this is the Bruce Jenner that I respect the most. What Bruce Jenner accomplished at the Olympic Games is nothing short of phenomenal and just pure, natural athleticism unaided by illegal substances.
I think the cardassions brain washed him. I mean look how screwed up they are. The mom is a propaganda specialist. She worked the system.
@@louielouiepks she pimped her daughters out. What a disgrace!
He unequivocally earned the WHEATIES cover!
I loved watching him run, it was amazing. It's a loss
MonsterHuntressRoom I completely agree with you!
I remember his victory in the Decathlon, it made us Americans so proud. It is well known to be the hardest event to win in all of the Olympics, because it requires all-around skills.
Rest assured, it is nowhere near as hard as running a marathon.
Hilarious: “(insert athlete’s name) He looks dreadfully weary!”
The predecessor for CrossFit, which does more than just track and field!
(Here come the hater comments 👂)
@@Highley1958 correct
He was truly a American Hero !!!! The Greatest of the Greats !!! So sorry,,, i liked Bruce Much more Than Katlynn !!!
After all that and he still skipped off a victory lap, incredible. 4 years of hard work, he deserved all the kudos that followed, legend.
Absolutely!
And look at him now! (a drag-queen!)
Uhm....he was on steroids. Clearly.
You see it just by looking at him.
As a kid, I met him one day at Squaw Valley and skied a couple of runs with him shortly after the Olympics. It was amazing to ride the chair lift with the same guy that was on my Wheatley’s box at home
As all of his opponents are squirming on the ground in agony, Bruce calmly walks his victory lap and waves to the crowd. Cool
Maybe there's really something about that to argue for his "inner woman."
Superior pain threshold?
@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 damn 🤣🤣🤣😂
His acceleration in that last lap is unreal.
uucp *Her
@@excalibur6246 lol
@@excalibur6246 his :)
His spirit, dedication, and self-confidence actually brought me to tears. That performance is a thing of beauty.
@@denisovanhybrid9610 In 1976, he was him. He will tell you that himself. These days Caitlin talks about what Bruce did back then.
This was when the Olympics was a huge deal. When the decathlon determined the "World's Greatest Athlete". Few could name the winner of the decathlon in Tokyo 2021 (Canadian Damian Warner).
Jenner was a national hero. Maybe the most famous person in the entire country at the time. If he had transitioned soon after his win, people would have lost their minds.
Lillard is a big deal in Canada.
What I don’t understand is why Caitlyn sounds like Bruce. If you want to be a woman, why wouldn’t you want a feminine voice?
Was a long distance runner as a young kid, while growing up in the heart of San Francisco. Was amazed by Bruce Jenner...his endurance, will to win, and amazing accomplishments during the '76 Olympics. My view today? Once great as the athletic athlete he became back then...always great. Nobody can ever take that away from him.
That's actually surprisingly good for someone who isn't a distance runner. Especially after all the other events.
AND Caitlyn was waiting in the audience for her debut.
Bruce's problems started when he married into the Kardashian family. That would screw anybody up.
Hey Walter, Bruce tried to transgender way back in his second marriage, but didn’t because of his kids! Do a tiny bit of research before saying something so ignorant.
As much as I do not care for the Kardashians, BRUCE had these feelings long before he met that family. I feel sorry for those that suffer with who they are, judged by others, feeling ashamed of who they are. Unless you have walked in his shoes don’t judge him.
@@ilovesingers1975 there's no law against judging someone. judge him all you want. he's a freak now and an embarrassment to his family and has a perverted mind.
@@robineast6446 Who cares when Jenner's personal identity crisis started. Maybe marrying into the Kardfashians is evidence enough. I don't follow Jenner's life.
Bruce not Caitlin, that’s how I will always remember him!!
She’s a woman now with a girlie figure!😉🏳️🌈
@@padijeff5675 Correction: Girlie parts, not girlie figure 😀
Don’t be jealous ! Live your own life and don’t decide for others.
@@colargolfriend Does your philosophy of Live your own life and dont decide for others also your stance on Covid vaccines??? I bet its not.....Bruce will always be a dude... no matter what
@@padijeff5675 no. he’s a man. you can’t change your gender lmao. you are the gender you are, for a reason.
Bruce Jenner was my hero as a teen. I was an aspiring track and field athlete in high school when he won the decathlon. I wanted nothing more than to be like him. Fast forward 50 years. Now, I am old, and Bruce is confused, and the only gold I'm looking forward to is a filling.
@@matthewchow4991 No....his DNA is a man...and so is his brain.
@@matthewchow4991 science is also stupid! he is confused and demonically possessed.
I love your comment!❤😂😂😂😂You're not alone!😉❤
@@maggie210Thanks Maggie.
A beast! That last lap was pure heart! Inspirational to say the least. When I was a kid Bruce Jenner was one of my heroes.
How about now?
just so incredibly sad how Jenner's life ended up-I bet he wishes he could get in a time machine go back to 1976 and never have hooked up with those lunatic Kardashians!!!
His identity with his gender has nothing to do with who he married. How ignorant.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged Thats crazy if you believe that lol. It had EVERYTHING to do with it. People arent born with mental illnesses like that.
I agree, he went from being a magazine cover as the ultimate athlete to a punch line on KUWTK, and then his gender change.
I'm commenting on the mess Kardashians made of his life-not his gender change-you're the ignorant one
@@sarcasticallyrearranged shows what you don't know ! Your comment didn't age well ! 🤣
I remember watching these games as a15 year old… Bruce was every girl’s dream! What a gorgeous, perfect athlete!
Now he’s every guys dream🌶
@@duanerondorf8948 LMFAO 🤣
Your hero was on steroids!
Crossing that finish line had to be the best feeling. Bruce Jenner had that looked like he was even more focus and determined. Jenner had that same look when he cross the 400 meter mark all the way on to the to 1500 finish. When people say fatigue make cowards out of us, it is so true. He feared nothing that day. We all have looked at old pictures or film of ourselves from the past with the thought that the person we see seem like someone else, introspectively speaking, we actually do change a bit with life experience we gather throughout our days on this earth to form the person we are at the time each of us call current. I honestly do think most people do change for the better; more importantly, Life can be a beautiful thing when you focus on the positive.
At least Bruce didn't change, he's still the same man he's always been.
When he was admired, and a good looking man,before the kardashians twisted his ass.
Wtf you sound crazy
@@lotusflower3154 Looks like 86 other people also sound crazy🤷
I WAS THERE!. Bruce was my hero, and I had an ENORMOUS crush on him as many 11 year old girls did. But I was there along the fence just above the long jump runway at 6:49 (talked my way down from our nosebleed seats; still have my ticket stubs), waving a Bennington flag (called a Bicentennial flag) and wearing a GO JENNER GO bumper sticker on my back (Chrystie gave it to me; still have it!) and then JUMPED DOWN to try and get that enormous flag to him (7:20) for his victory lap! THANK YOU!!!
I am not even an American; but that win made me clap so loudly! To think those Kartrashians don't even acknowledge the grit, dedication and immense hard work that went into years of training to win that gold!
This is remarkable to me.... This is absolutely what an athlete making history looks like! I too, get tears in that last 30 seconds. It's like he is realizing that all his dreams are coming true, and that he is about to make history! I admire the person in this video wholeheartedly for so many reasons that have nothing to do with this gold medal. As a track and field athlete myself, I know the dedication that this took! Way to make your country proud!!!!!
I was born in 1970. One of my earliest childhood memories was watching the Olympics with my mom and dad: Bruce Jenner running the end of the 1500m through gritted teeth to win the decathlon. I later learned about "the world greatest athlete" moniker to the winner of the 10 event contest. I ate my Wheaties. It was watching this at 6 years old that made me pursue track-&-field in high school and college. Bruce Jenner is/was/whatever my hero.
I am so glad I found this. Thank you.
You would enjoy the documentary on Netflix then... 🍻
I haven't seen this since I was 12 in 1976 watching it happen live. This is exactly how I remember it. Amazing.
When I was in high school Bruce Jenner was a hero to many of us on the track and cross-country running teams. He was everything a great American athlete was supposed to be. I will always remember the Bruce Jenner of the 1976 Olympic Games.
Well Burt, personally I'd rather the Kardashians show did not exist as it's pap TV at it's worst, but I'd never deny how awesome this achievement was. I can see you're proud, and for good reason.
Can't say I disagree with you...
Burt Jenner This was the first Olympics I remember, I was only 6, and it got me hooked on watching it every 4 years after that,winter and summer :) and this was one of the reasons why. This legacy will long outlive that show :)
+Burt Jenner The Kardashians have your dad to thank for all of their fame and fortune. That family, (excluding Bruce of course), has zero talent and are only famous as a by-product of having Bruce in their lives and as a step-father. Their t.v. show is garbage. On the other hand your father is a success story because of talent and tremendous hard-work and an iron will. He is also to be commended for his bravery in coming out and being himself despite what the public might think.
@Jazzkeyboardist1 That doesn't even make any sense. LoL.
@Jazzkeyboardist1 Ummmm, ya, so? Everyone knows that genius. Their father was still nowhere near as famous or as rich as Brucella Jenner.
I was there! Montreal 1976. They had just finished that stadium. Barely.
Thanks for the footage Burt,much respect for your dad for winning the Decathlon.
See, the man's greatest achievements were as...a MAN!
Absolutely amazing he ran with such ease and strength, it's mesmerising to watch.
True. Really good form.
I remember this. He was a specimen of perfection.
My hero when I was a teenager. Bruce Jenner looks happy he's a man @8:30. He trained hard, competed hard and won the Decathlon in the US bicentennial year. It was an exciting time to be an American.
Lockemeister Bruce looks proud of what hes accomplished, i wouldnt say he looks happy to be a man
Nobody can take away the work and dedication this man had for that time!! Boss
Literally no one ever has
I would personally have been thrilled to have never heard of the Kardashians and there are many out there like me. And plenty of people have very nice lives as insurance salesmen - no need to speak disparagingly about that particular career. Congrats to your dad for winning the decathlon, whoever you are.
Kartrashians
He ran that track like a BOSS!!!!!!
What a tremendous athlete.
I was there! On the first day I sat behind his parents and his then wife. They were wearing t-shirts that said, "Go Jenner Go". We had to ask them, "Who's Jenner?"
Little known fact, he did this event in 6 inch heels. Truly the GOAT.
In a pink thong!!!
Wonder if he wore heels with Linda.
No matter what, Bruce Jenner will always be my hero. My sister and I were inspired to be track athletes in part because of him. :)
Sonyag1 awesome
**Him. Caitlyn didn't win that gold medal, Bruce did.
People need to wake up - Bruce Jenner was ALWAYS a biological female. a 6 foot 2 biological female. You all need to study the differences between male and female skeletal structures. We have been blind and lied to folks. They switched him back is what they did
Excellent!
@@SuperChuckRaney : That's why I referred to Bruce as "him" in my original statement. Read it again.
He was a total stud. He was admired and carried that fame his entire life. He will always be Bruce Jenner.
I have purposely stayed away from any news about Jenner since this. I say "purposely", I mean since he started his career on TV. The video above is what I remember of the fella and that's about what I know. I was 6 years old and he kicked major ass. Let him change into a spotted owl, who gives a shit? How many Olympic Gold Medals have you earned?
It has gotten to the point however that Bruce Jenner jokes are about to come out. Being who I am, I have to join in. It doesn't mean I care what he does, it just means he/she is tarting to look like a RICH 65 year old lesbian. :)
"He ran faster away from his 1st family" ............... Nikki Glaser at the Caitlyn Jenner roast.
I got the chance to meet him and to see this Gold Metal at a convention I was at in Bloomington, MN in 1980. He was one of the keynote speakers. He did and awesome speech and was so kind and willing to take the time to meet with folks and answers our questions. One convention I will never forget.
One thing I do know is he can dance, and likes to have fun.
Watching this brought me to tears. Have you ever wanted to achieve something so much that you would do the exact same thing as Bruce? Me too, me too. Never give up!
#followthatdream
Such acceleration and stamina there at the end. He was totally amazing.
But he placed 2nd in that race.
It was the Decathlon!
@Fred Wills Thanks! I appreciate you educating me on this. :)
@Fred Wills So is the reason they're cheering him on so much at the end is because they were thinking about his overall points? I was just confused why they were paying so much attention to the second place winner. I have never seen this happen before.
@Fred Wills I can't really understand what they're saying due to the poor quality of the video.
This is the Bruce Jenner we have to remember. He was all man during that event.
Thanks for sharing this clip of your Dad.
Ran like a gazelle-beautiful to watch.
I wonder if the athletes who lost to him back then are asking themselves today, what the hell did we loose to ?
Ronny Northington- Caitlyn Jenner has NO MENTAL ISSUES ! She is rich and is doing exactly what she wants .
@@STICKITINYOUREAR it is not a she, it is a he!
@@DavidSmith-ef1ws -SHE is a transgender female.
@@STICKITINYOUREAR
A transgender female is a MALE who identifies as a female. Biology doesn't care about feelings.
@@STICKITINYOUREAR caitlyn is a fake name to cover a fake person who killed 2 in vehicular homicide. He is covering his asz by playing girl. He is not a girl. Can never be. He is a fraud.
Your dad was awesome. He still is. Thanks for posting these. I remember when this happened. He was totally amazing.
UH EXCUUUUSE ME...SHE... * loses mind and explodes into confetti *
Hey Burt? Thanks for sharing and letting us remember!
I sure remember those races. My family had rented a home from the Crownovers. Burt your Aunt Carla was my sister Faith's close friend in high school and my sister was at your parents wedding. I remember my sister flying down for the wedding and landing at the San Francisco airport and she was thinking the plane was going to land in the water the way that runway looks. That always gave me a chuckle when I'd fly into SFO. I know she recently talked with Carla. I remember all those years of prep for Bruce and the Olympics and cheering for his every win. It was also fun for me knowing Chrystie and I both became Interior Designers for a career.
He's probably thinking, Man,I can't wait to get home,put on my dress and just relax!😂
Bruce thinking about that dress he saw in the Macy's window during his victory lap.
That's when he had BALLS !!
Holy Moly !!! The Million $$ Man !!! Becomes a Homely old Lady !!! REALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Showing your true self as a transphobic bigot
@@amberpuga7322 SO WHAT!!
Naw he's thinking how to drop the pole vault.
Your Father is a great American athlete and athletic hero!
You know the history... Russia was considered a threat to the world.
1976, The United States 200 year anniversary.
1976 Olympics was one of the most Olympian historical events in history.
I would love to hear your Father's minute by minute account and mind set.
I know he wins and my heart begins to race as I watch this competition (as it did when I watched on television Summer 1976) and your Father's run and victory. My heart is still pounding. Your Father made America proud!
So glad I came across your video.
Burt be proud, your dad is amazing… I miss the male Bruce Jenner…
He's still male. Doesn't matter how much people mutilate their bodies they're still the same sex they were born as.
Even without a penis he still a man
XY chromosomes will never change
He is a male. Period point blank
Me too
I watched all ten events of this decathlon and as a 14 year old at the time I knew the magnitude of the moment at the conclusion of the 1500. It remains one of my favourite sports memories of all time.
I fell in love with Bruce Jenner a little bit as a teenage girl when he won the decathlon. So handsome and a beautiful example of the masculine form. I consider it a great tragedy that this prime example of manhood abandoned that to pretend to be a woman. I feel very sorry for him.
A wonderful moment for America! Thank you for sharing this!
I will never forget this as long as I live. My dad and i were glued to the TV set. A tube TV with rabbit ears but still...this was something.
The only athlete to be on two different cereal boxes..Wheaties, and now Fruut Loops
Pretty astounding how far he went from this to batshit crazy.
Poor dude just lost his goddam marbles with those ridiculous hens he had to deal with.
I remember Bruce from seeing him on the Wheaties Cereal boxes when I was a kid.
Burt, I don't think there's a question about whether you would have been born in Malibu CA or San Jose CA. If there had been a difference of ONE SECOND anywhere in your dad's life up until your conception, it would have been a different baby born 9 months later. Talk about a crap shoot, roulette wheel, or something, we should all thank God and the universe we are even here! God bless you, buddy.
Amazing how far streaming sports has progressed. An amazing athlete!
A man amongst men ! What the f happened?
Love watching this wonderful trial and journey of your dad. World champion then and now.
My aunt worked for his parent's business, Jenner Tree Service in Westchester County, NY
A true American hero and icon, God bless him and your family. I remember when I was a kid, all of the boys would play "Bruce Jenner" on the playground, reenacting in their minds his historic win.
His glory days before he lost his mind. Our world has gone absolutely mad and Jenner went right along for the ride. I'll never watch the Olympics again until the committee get's their priorities straight and keeps men and women separated in the events.
So many devils in Hollywood. People really sell their soul to the devil for millions of dollars
This how I chose to remember him .Great Athlete.
wtf is in weaties
Its a cereal!!
im glad i saw this
Lol!
Excellent athlete. Interesting mindset to get motivated and focused for the Olympic games. Private Lifes are not my problem
He was such a handsome man
Stud!
After him they were forced to change the rules so that you didn't get bonus points for cool sideburns.
I remember watching this. I was 13 years old and I have never forgotten it. Quite honestly, the only reason I ever tuned into the Kardashian show was because I heard Bruce Jenner was in the cast. I knew nothing about the rest of them!
Impressed by the dedication of the athletes. Training without even knowing if there will be gold.
I remember watching this as a child..Bruce you will always be America's Hero!
He may become America's Hero again if he governs California
The last lap of this race is the loudest crowd noise I've ever experienced in person. So fun!
Me too. I was screaming as loud as I could, which is very loud, but I couldn't hear myself. Amazing!
All the while he was thinking "Damn I'd look fine in high heels and a tight black mini-skirt with a bustier!"
Even the greatest achievements a man can make in his life can be brought down in a second by a designing woman - even when he does it to himself.
damn, i cant believe he ran a low 4, he seemed so slow at the beggining. I know when am going even low 5 i feel like im sprinting as hard as i can
Thank you, Burt.
Your dad is amazing man...his my favorite from the show and he deserve way more respect than he gets by everybody on that show....his so patient with all the family specially kris his amazing as a dad husband and athlete i wish i had a father figure like him....
Recently finished reading "Finding..." - enjoyed it very much; Jenner has a very engaging reading style. If there is as claimed a forthcoming autobiography (it's hard to know what's truth and what's lies a lot of the time), I'll look out for that too.
The only thing that I can't believe, is that your father married into the Kardashian family.
Announcer, "What was going through his mind, I wonder."
Bruce, "If I do this I can be anything I want to be!"
LOL
How many people still have their wheatys box
He didn’t want to be a woman 1972-1976. He trained 6-8 hours per day 365 days per year for the games. Never thought about dresses and makeup even once I bet. The only thing he thought about was being the best MAN in the world, the best male world athlete. Didn’t he say a couple months ago he wished he didn’t have gender reassignment? Some things are reversible. The
psychological damage is permanent.
Dude was a machine
I am so confused. How did he win the gold medal? Wasn't there a man right in front of him (#890) that got to the finish line first? 5:50
This race was only one event. The Decathlon consists of ten different events, and based on your ranking in each event, you get points. He didn't win first in this particular event, but he did well enough in the other events to pull him to the gold.
siralicia Ooooh ok now I get it. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
***** No problem :)
+pandaloranne It's a series of different events... This race was the last of 10 events.
because he was the first Woman to cross
I remember when his photo was on the Wheaties box.
Sticking up for a friend is one the most selfless and heartwarming things to see
He must have put in a tremendous amount of training time into this feat. An amazing athlete.
From what I understand he worked a full-time job during this training. Didn't even have a professional trainer.
@@BSBWOMAN If that is true, it is all the more remarkable. Perhaps one of the greatest sports moments. I will always remember Bruce Jenner for that moment in time. Very inspirational.
pure talent, no performance enhancing drugs.
Wait are you the guy with a beard and is no offence bald when I search you up? And damn bro
I can never watch this and not think about the snl spoof of it “Little chocolate donuts” with John Belushi.
Incredible! All Guts and Glory. Truly Amazing feat..
I flew home from Daytona after 500 with him and Reggie Jackson when he was normal can’t believe what happened to him since then
"When he was normal" What a stupid thing to say.
Must be strange having a dad that is now your second mom...
So, in retrospect would this be classified as a drag race? 🤔
