+Burt Jenner Does she ever look back at those days with fondness? It must have been pretty cool being considered the best athlete at the time. But why did he stop running?
***** The experts say that from an early age, even as prepubescent children transexuals feel uncomfortable in their biologically assigned gender . This guy was the world's greatest athlete, had numerous wives and children as a male and then at age 65 decided to transition, so I ain't buying it, I think its a scam to make money. am I right? I don't know, and nor do you, only Bruce knows.
That would be a good argument but she/he has not faced prejudice. Just the opposite. She/he has received a ESPN profile in courage award, she/he has been lauded and celebrated, made numerous appearances on every network and her/his own TV show. Now she/he has been nominated for Woman of the Year, which seems a bit unfair to me, since she/he hasn't even been a woman for an entire year.
+bob hobby so, if you believe on something or your religious, we can say anything to you because your judging someone with their opinion. and to everyone, how is making fun/ judging Bruce/ Caitlyn gonna change your life? It's pointless.
+Erin Duddell And you can assume that HE is telling you the truth just because he say so on tv and you listen to mainstream media outlets? That's fucking amazing dude! Do tell us more.
It's great to hear Keith Jackson's play-by-play voice which brings back many sport memories from the 70's. He passed away in 2018 at the age of 89 and may he RIP.
No announcer could call college football better than the great Keith Jackson. With iconic quotations like "Whoa Nellie" and "Fummmmmmmbbblllee" plus many more, he kept the game moving, exciting (even if it was a blow out) and flat out fun to watch. None of today's talking heads can come close to his brilliance. I miss him dearly. The game is becoming excruciating to watch with all the commercials and endless chatter among those buffoons in the booth. Keith Jackson was the man.
***** Actually, there is a very famous and well documented case of a very young boy (age 4) identifying as a girl, and it not being some passing tomboy phase. Keep an open mind and take a minute to look up Jazz Jennings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_Jennings Think about what you would do if you were his/her parents.
***** He should still be in counselling, but this is such a hard diss on that kardashian bitch he was married to, you drove me to the same sex, I now want to be with a man.
An amazing athlete and no one can take that away from him. There are certain events in life that you will forever remember as nothing less than extrodinary and watching Bruce Jenner in the "76"" Olympics was one of them.
I watched the 76' Olympics from beginning to end with great passion as a late teen and remember this race. Just an absolute world class performance by Jenner. People don't realize just how stupendous a 47.5 400 is for a decathlete. That's only 2.5 seconds from being world caliber in the event today and this was over 40yrs ago!!
"F. Scott Fitzgerald" A decathlete must be a more "overlooked" type of athlete than others such as basketball players, baseball players, football players etc (that is regarding sports here in the US) but a decathlete must practice and be good at several athletic endeavors. I don't know if there has been an American decathlete after Bruce Jenner that has accomplished as much. Also a decathlete, having to endeavor in several different types of competitions, must NOT be at the same level as athletes that compete solely in running, or javelin throwing, etc. But Jenner came very close at least in this competition.
I don't say this to be confrontational, but you really need to do some reading on transgender issues - your ignorance could not be more all-encompassing. These are not flippant choices that people make; rather, they are cruel contradictions of biology, men born as women and women born as men, and the sad individuals with those plights live conflicted, agonized lives; it's no coincidence that the suicide rate for trans men is an astounding 41 percent. Those are the things the article will teach you, so yes, read it and educate yourself.
***** Again, you haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about, and have obviously spent no time reading about the science behind gender dysphoria or the plights of the 700,000 transgender people in America. By your logic, homosexuality would also qualify as a psychological problem that can be treated with therapy. I'm not going to argue this point with you, because ignorance can only be treated by personal exploration - and you clearly have no interest in increasing your understanding of this matter. Have fun wallowing in your ignorance!
47.51! That is ballin!! No, it's not the World Record set by Michael Johnson (43.18) but anyone who has ever ran the 400 at any level tell you what Bruce Jenner did was pretty darn impressive!! Heck, there are a ton of guys out there who just want to break 50. THIS is the Bruce Jenner I will always remember. The guy who won the gold medal in the '76 Olympics. The guy on the Wheaties box. The guy who actually trained incredibly hard, went out, and accomplished something worthy of honor. The whole Kardashian clan can go jump in a lake...
And Michael Johnson couldn't do 4 other events and 5 more the next day with any decent times or distances. Except for the 400 and 100 maybe. Let's see him run hurdles or pole vault. What Bruce did was amazing. He was a great athlete. And even on the Kardashians I thought he was a decent guy.
Funny I was watching an interview about him and after his first Olympics and seeing the gold medalist win he started training that same day for the next Olympics. He and his wife struggled at the time; then you see these Kardashian rich kids whining texting on their phones laying on the couch. I think kids in general today have no idea what it is to really struggle for success and your dreams. Everything is just handed to them. And this generation doesn’t even seem to lookup to people who struggle to accomplish real goals or celebrate them. They think struggling is something so simple and barely lifting a finger. He really had amazing drive and determination. Wow
This way he ran this race was basically perfect for an energy sapped decathlete at the end of first day, the 400 can kill your whole competition and some take it easy when they aren't prepared well. But Jenner was prepared. The way he went out, worked hard first 50 of back straight then floated rather than going too excessive, (great stride length), entered the 2nd bend and ran consistently and technically well. Head started to go at start of home straight but he dealt with the form drop and maintained his pace with grit. A couple of guys started coming back at him but it was a done deal - he got home with a good points advantage. He went right to the edge where he could have 'blown up' and ended up doing 48.8 and feeling terrible afterwards, but he knew exactly what he wanted and nailed. By getting everything right, he turned the 400m in to an unexpected strength event.
@@curtisbyrd423 more this was a badass run, but he wasn't a great runner by any stretch of imagination. I was just impressed with his strategy and spot on execution.
Going out is fast is relatively easy. Coming home fast down that last 100 meters is painfully difficult. Perhaps one of the most difficult things in sports.
Well....just gosh dang. Thanks for breaking that down. Truly impressive when you can see into the minds of the athletes as they are competing for hours and hours for the make or break decisions. Most appreciated.
I was expecting them to pace themselves. Instead, they all seemed to be pushing themselves hard. Apparently no one more that Bruce, however. Look at him grit his teeth.
Thanxx for posting this race. Back in '76, I was 22 and had been a High School track team member [ '68 TO '72] with a School record in the mile relay. ( before everything went to meters ) I remember watching this and Bruce Jenner was the Hero of my youth. He was a great sprinter..........
Hey, just wondering would you have said that he ran into a pack of N words no you wouldn't have but yet you use the G word which is a derogatory term and extremely offensive to other Romani people. I really wish people who say that they are liberals would respect everyone.
He was a beast in this event. And crazy how much he still had in the tank after the end of this race. I presume that was his instinct to save energy for the other events.
To me watching this is really depressing. As a heptathlete and runner I looked up to him while I was a child. He was such a amazing athlete and man. Now all he/she is know for is changing genders and being on a tv show. Dont get me wrong, its great that she came out and can finally be who she wants to be. But a part of me wishes HE, Bruce Jenner, the husband, the father, the athlete was still around. Now a days no one cares about her past career as a professional decathlete. He worked so hard to get to where he got, but now all everyone cares about is her future life and not his past life. They are still the same person, wether you want to think so or not.You don't have to be a man to be a champion, but some times to the outside world don't understand why people would feel trapped in such a amazing body.
you know, Caitlyn wishes that she didnt have gender dysphoria as well, it'd make life a helluva lot easier. just look at all of the hate comments and filth
It's a sad disorder and unfortunately instead of getting the help he needs he gets validation. He'll never be a woman so he can never be happy. The issue isn't that he was born a man, the issue is that he thinks he's a woman.
What is "great" about being a pervert? Jenner has accomplished nothing by supposedly "be who she wants to be". It is nuts to say these asinine things about someone who changes his/her God given sexual identity.
I think the surprise was because he represented the ideal masculine figure, someone muscular, confident, athletic, full of testosterone, most would've pictured he was more likely to grow up to become Batman. If he was super flamboyant and feminine that would've been one thing, but he was quite literally many kids hero. To see him suddenly want to retire as a woman came truly out of nowhere, then again guess when you spend so much time with attractive women, it makes you almost wish you could be one of them.
An impressive run by Jenner. To go out so fast, down the back stretch, and the on the curve, but then the sprint home. Much easier said than done. An old track man will tell you, lactic acid pours out and you can come almost to a halt. The bear jumps on your back, and it's a very painful feeling. But Jenner pushed himself to an excellent time. Unbelievable.
I was fortunate enough to meet Bruce in Eugene at the US Olympic Trials in 1976. I knew Steve Prefontaine and was devastated when he died the month prior in an auto accident in Eugene. Had a lot of respect for both of them. Bruce was someone I truly admired. He had a fantastic work ethic and was always smiling and encouraging to youth athletes such as myself back then. Definitely one of the high points of my athletic career.
You're a fantastic son Burt. Your love for your dad totally shines through not only in posting the videos but in your responses. I hadn't seen the full events before - just little clips - so I never understood why my parents would always rave about him at every Olympics after that. Now I totally get it. He's a legend and for him to kill it like that is jaw-dropping. Give him a hug for all of us the next time you see him. :)
did I say that no one cared? please re read my comment. I said, no one should care. and that goes both ways. Does he/she deserve so much praise for coming out? no, because it is not a big freaking deal. Some years back, my friend kept telling me he had something SO big to tell me, and he finally told me he was gay. and I was like, "okay, thats great, now do you wanna play some Playstation 3 or not?" to me, being gay, or transsexual, is just as much of a shock as someone telling me they are straight!
First of all,you do realize that Satanists, dont actually worship Satan right? In fact Satanists dont believe in god or the devil. The Satanic religion, was invented by Anton Lavey, and its purpose was to show, that people should live their lives in the now, and not worry about what comes next in the after life. I have a few Satanic friends, who are the nicest people you would ever meet! so please don't believe the hollywood bullshit about certain religions! and Second of all, what about all the STRAIGHT people you see on tv kissing and having sex? are they PUSHING their agenda as well? Showing your love for your significant other, is not pushing an agenda. Straight couples kiss out in public all the time, and no one seems to mind. and showing the world WHO you are, is not pushing an agenda either.
one of the toughest events in track. The winning strategy is to run the first 100 in a sprint, then "rest" during the second 100 meters backstretch, while staying in position to finish and then sprint the last 70 meters or so to win.
Bruce's transition to Caitlyn really just proves that no matter how hard you try to you can't deny who you truly are! Being an Olympic gold athlete, being married 3 times, having a beautiful family, being an amazing father still does not equal to who SHE really wanted to be. Bruce participating in the Olympics was in a way her attempt to try to push away and "fix" herself but even being such a masculine man the best he could be never gave her that peace, it only added more to her inner conflict. It made my day seeing those pictures of Caitlyn Jenner. She's beautiful and this serves as a great lesson that even a conservative American hero can be transgendered. Regardless if you don't agree it's wrong to spread hate. Bringing religion in the matter is ridiculous and GOD is the only one to judge as the bible says.
I honestly find it hilarious that people love to call her a disgrace and misgender her when she will forever be more successful than all of you. Jealousy looks good on absolutely no one ;)
The decathlon is a 10-event contest for the title of 'greatest athlete in the world'. This was just one of the 10 events. Back in the 70s, this was a HUGE deal and Bruce's popularity was A-list celebrity, which meant back then that EVERYONE knew who you were.
Like another commenter I met Bruce just before this. He was very kind and seemed like such a gentle soul. He also seemed somewhat overwhelmed but I thought it was just the sports pressure. I am glad Kaitlin is free and wish the best to Kaitlin and the Jenner kids in healing from some overwhelming circumstances. The respect has always been there and always will be!
Just wanted to remind myself why I at one time admired him. Before he became a sportscaster with a vomit personality, a plastic surgery monstrosity rendered a non-factor, reborn as a stooge for the Kardashian clan, and then reduced to becoming a woman when he's a senior citizen.
Regardless of today's yadda yadda, everyone should realize that the Soviets were wrecking US in track and field and Bruce was the American athlete hero during the Cold War.
The description under the video has been changed. The original was a paragraph long and said something like "What if dad didn't meet the Kardashians, what if dad... etc etc".
Can a deca athlete set a Oly rec. In one of the 10 events or is it overall score, for example if jenner would of ran a sub 45 400 setting a oly rec. What that be a new oly 400 record or just earn points
Before the Kardashians: Tough, energetic, dignified, all around BADASS, with a few quirks but overall a powerful man who inspired millions of Americans (including gays and lesbians), to stand tall.After the Kardashians: Meek, lethargic, whiny, vain, not even gay but GIRLY, a hollow shell of a "woman" done in by immorality, obsession with fame, manipulation, and now a worldwide laughingstock.
+U Mad how you gonna have a name like U Mad and get offended so easily? And don't say you aren't because reading "girly" obviously had you feeling some type of way. Lmao idk I just found that hilarious.
One of the reasons I don't really like Caitlyn Jenner is when she (I think as Bruce) hit someone with their car, killing them. There was literally no jail time, no nothin. That's just a little weird to me.
As a Gen X'er I can tell you that this was a BIG deal in 1976. I was just a kid when this happened but I remember those Wheaties boxes and Bruce Jenner doing guest appearances on shows for many years after this win.
The one person from the Kardashians with legit talent
Agreed
And then they ruined him too haha
Umm you forgot Kanye West
Yea but look at him now lmao i mean her, wait im confused
@@jasonbattiste6300 It's not a hard thing to understand

Yup haters can hate... But nobody can ever take this experience away from my dad... What state are you from and what grade?

+Burt Jenner Are you really his son though?
+Burt Jenner Does she ever look back at those days with fondness? It must have been pretty cool being considered the best athlete at the time. But why did he stop running?

Bruce's running form inspired me when I was a kid. I ran everyday and studied the forms of pre and Bruce they were monsters . I miss it.
Chris Melbihess pre was my inspiration for running to
A great athlete, pretty amazing to watch him run.
Too bad he's not the same anymore
T Obrien It is amazing. His accomplishment is amazing.
T Obrien Now he runs in high heels.
I was fortunate enough to meet Bruce in Eugene at the US Olympic Trials in 1976. I knew Steve Prefontaine and was devastated when he died the month prior in an auto accident in Eugene. Had a lot of respect for both of them. Bruce was someone I truly admired. He had a fantastic work ethic and was always smiling and encouraging to youth athletes such as myself back then. Definitely one of the high points of my athletic career.
You're a fantastic son Burt. Your love for your dad totally shines through not only in posting the videos but in your responses. I hadn't seen the full events before - just little clips - so I never understood why my parents would always rave about him at every Olympics after that. Now I totally get it. He's a legend and for him to kill it like that is jaw-dropping. Give him a hug for all of us the next time you see him. :)
99.9% of humans have no clue what it takes to run this along with all the other events..actually unreal
God dammit why did he have to do it
Captain Leerox because its his choice, and makes him happy? it effects no one but him, so no one should evencare
did I say that no one cared? please re read my comment. I said, no one should care. and that goes both ways. Does he/she deserve so much praise for coming out? no, because it is not a big freaking deal.
Some years back, my friend kept telling me he had something SO big to tell me, and he finally told me he was gay. and I was like, "okay, thats great, now do you wanna play some Playstation 3 or not?" to me, being gay, or transsexual, is just as much of a shock as someone telling me they are straight!
***** nah, only blind, ignorant retards value "vanity fair"
DISTURBED702 wow thats so coool. ur such a great person...
First of all,you do realize that Satanists, dont actually worship Satan right? In fact Satanists dont believe in god or the devil. The Satanic religion, was invented by Anton Lavey, and its purpose was to show, that people should live their lives in the now, and not worry about what comes next in the after life. I have a few Satanic friends, who are the nicest people you would ever meet! so please don't believe the hollywood bullshit about certain religions! and Second of all, what about all the STRAIGHT people you see on tv kissing and having sex? are they PUSHING their agenda as well? Showing your love for your significant other, is not pushing an agenda. Straight couples kiss out in public all the time, and no one seems to mind. and showing the world WHO you are, is not pushing an agenda either.
one of the toughest events in track. The winning strategy is to run the first 100 in a sprint, then "rest" during the second 100 meters backstretch, while staying in position to finish and then sprint the last 70 meters or so to win.
Post your performance on YT please
I was born the year this came out 1976 I'm 45 now, thanks for sharing Burt.
One of the greatest athletes particularly as a decathlete.
Jenner was straight BEAST!!
Well... not a "straight" beast.
zuniga0331
Actually, he is straight. Jenner is not gay.
Ru W then why did he become a girl
shoe93 because he’s trans and he identify as girl. OBVIOUSLY that has nothing to do with straight or gay.
Pretty sure he fucked women so he is gay.
Bruce's transition to Caitlyn really just proves that no matter how hard you try to you can't deny who you truly are! Being an Olympic gold athlete, being married 3 times, having a beautiful family, being an amazing father still does not equal to who SHE really wanted to be. Bruce participating in the Olympics was in a way her attempt to try to push away and "fix" herself but even being such a masculine man the best he could be never gave her that peace, it only added more to her inner conflict. It made my day seeing those pictures of Caitlyn Jenner. She's beautiful and this serves as a great lesson that even a conservative American hero can be transgendered. Regardless if you don't agree it's wrong to spread hate. Bringing religion in the matter is ridiculous and GOD is the only one to judge as the bible says.
Fuck you confused bitch
My family was there for both days of this. Still ranks as one of the most memorable in-person sporting events of my life.
Who else is watching this video ater his caitlyn debut lmao he was truly amazing
Feet dont fail me now. I loved jenner in the 76 Olympics. What a track and field team we had. Edwin moses was legendary and so was our boxing team.
Our track team didn't do that well we only won gold in the relays Edwin and Bruce and Mac in the shot put that was it.
I honestly find it hilarious that people love to call her a disgrace and misgender her when she will forever be more successful than all of you. Jealousy looks good on absolutely no one ;)
HIM
Bruce....Bruce....what the hell happened
my dad always said that he wasnt the best athelete... he just tried harder...
Really ?
@@MRSK1969 no
Wait, is she/he your mom or dad?
@@thefootballplanet5784 lmaoooo dad dumbass, she isnt gonna change into a mother, she just prefers pronouns her/she
@@thefootballplanet5784 🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this when I was 8 seeing him hold that little flag in the end was awesome
The decathlon is a 10-event contest for the title of 'greatest athlete in the world'. This was just one of the 10 events. Back in the 70s, this was a HUGE deal and Bruce's popularity was A-list celebrity, which meant back then that EVERYONE knew who you were.
Love to hear the great Keith Jackson calling this race.
He was one of the VERY best
@@paulgrieshop5024 Is he still alive?
@@obscurelyvague No he died in 2018
you have to be born with that speed
WOW!!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS WOMEN JUST SMOKE THESE DUDES AROUND THE TRACK..................
Honestly I was a quick and skinny sprinter in HS and my best time was 50 flat. So impressive that he was that fast and still so well rounded.
Like another commenter I met Bruce just before this. He was very kind and seemed like such a gentle soul. He also seemed somewhat overwhelmed but I thought it was just the sports pressure. I am glad Kaitlin is free and wish the best to Kaitlin and the Jenner kids in healing from some overwhelming circumstances. The respect has always been there and always will be!
Your dad is amazing to watch. I love him!
Bruh
Jenner was really a hero is in 1976... I remember it clearly....An amazing athlete.....
I saw this live! I also remember that bicentennial year was great for many reasons. Great year for Wheaties, too!
HE (I have not and will not ever buy his whole 'Caityln' thing) was such a great performer here
*she
@@qzc3E9 HE
Damn, Jenner is jacked!! Most people don't know that long distance running takes muscle away but sprinting actually adds muscle.
The Decathalon was such a highlight then. In his time, Bruce Jenner was nearly as iconic as Usain Bolt is today.
When you running away from the kardashians but they get you
This quality legit looks like CCTV quality now a days.. 😂
He made that look EASY.
What an amazing athlete he was.
Yes. Many people have no idea just how great an athlete he was. He could have went pro in all three major sports but chose the Olympics.
Just wanted to remind myself why I at one time admired him. Before he became a sportscaster with a vomit personality, a plastic surgery monstrosity rendered a non-factor, reborn as a stooge for the Kardashian clan, and then reduced to becoming a woman when he's a senior citizen.
JohnLoCicero “reduced to becoming a woman” cracked me up lmao
What a freak indeed
Lol
JohnLoCicero 😂😂😂
JohnLoCicero cuz u gay
You know there a some videos on UA-cam where the comment section is just pure gold.......this is one of those videos!
Regardless of today's yadda yadda, everyone should realize that the Soviets were wrecking US in track and field and Bruce was the American athlete hero during the Cold War.
Did the Netflix show ' The Cabin ' bring you here too?
your a hero Bruce.I was 12 and watched you save the 70s..No more moon,No more Beatles,Nixon and then you come and make us proud again....RESPECT..
Bless you if you are watching this in 2020 👍🏻
You have to give the ole girl some credit. She faster than the Roadrunner BEEP! BEEP!
He was amazing in those Olympics
He was amazing
*she
In 76 he was my hero . Now I throw up a bit when his name is mentioned.
What a beautiful man. Shame..
Game0nMan , and a handsome lady
The description under the video has been changed. The original was a paragraph long and said something like "What if dad didn't meet the Kardashians, what if dad... etc etc".
Funny how quick and easily, Americans tear down their heroes.
One of my childhood Heroes, I hope he finds happiness.
For you younger folks, this guy was as big as Elvis, Neil Armstrong and OJ Simpson. He was a household name. Kids would imitate him on the playground.
Can a deca athlete set a Oly rec. In one of the 10 events or is it overall score, for example if jenner would of ran a sub 45 400 setting a oly rec. What that be a new oly 400 record or just earn points
Only talent in the family
That's not nice, I heard Scott Disdick makes a mean Sangria
how fast do you run the mile? how high do you pole vault? how far can you throw the shot put, discus and javelin?
lol
@@gamerboyss5310 We all have to bite our tongues
@@obscurelyvague no, you don't...
How did I get here from water color painting?
me: wanting to see the race...
race starts: I think I see a red and blue pixel, that must be bruce, GO USA
Before the Kardashians: Tough, energetic, dignified, all around BADASS, with a few quirks but overall a powerful man who inspired millions of Americans (including gays and lesbians), to stand tall.After the Kardashians: Meek, lethargic, whiny, vain, not even gay but GIRLY, a hollow shell of a "woman" done in by immorality, obsession with fame, manipulation, and now a worldwide laughingstock.
+U Mad how you gonna have a name like U Mad and get offended so easily? And don't say you aren't because reading "girly" obviously had you feeling some type of way. Lmao idk I just found that hilarious.
but you've been a dumbass before and after...
Still get a chill after all these years.
One of the reasons I don't really like Caitlyn Jenner is when she (I think as Bruce) hit someone with their car, killing them. There was literally no jail time, no nothin. That's just a little weird to me.
I met Mr. Jenner in person, I grew up watching the track & field. He is down to earth, very nice person, he don't push you aside.
I want a time machine so I can go back and warn Bruce about a lot of things
What a gift . UA-cam and You.........Thanks
The quality of this video is as good as her mind
Wouldn't it be nice if they showed this kind of broadcasting rather than the tripe that spews out in 2014?
They do. Every four years. It's called "The Olympics".
She's very brave.
Damn you Caitlyn!!! Give Bruce Back!
@Daniel Dough stfu
Right
He's gone crazy
As a Gen X'er I can tell you that this was a BIG deal in 1976. I was just a kid when this happened but I remember those Wheaties boxes and Bruce Jenner doing guest appearances on shows for many years after this win.
That’s faster than Marita Koch’s world record, how come it’s not registered as a world record?
anyone else here from ERB
Yep
heller
Yep.
yep it was not good tho
+Amirali Ghaznavi it was great just Jenner had too many lines
Bruce was actually the man out here don't know wat happened now LOL 😂💥
Maya W it’s called freedom and happiness, maybe try it someday
@@mitchreeves8234 Its his decision still quite odd for a man to do such a thing, but will accept it anyway 🎉
@@mayaw9922 quite odd for a man?? As far as I know more men transition into women than the other way around.
Bruce is the reason why I liked Wheaties so much when I was a kid!! But Bruce was the man in the 70's
I still remember him only from the Wheaties box. I was too little in 76 and for decades I thought he was Canadian. People change over time.
