I was a 7 year old Montreal resident in 1976 and this was all magical! I was taken to see gymnastics and I clearly remember this decathlon win. If you ever visit Montreal and the Olympic grounds (Biodome, insectarium, planetarium) be sure to take a walk over to the Olympic Village. It still has its MidCentury Modern look and in the east building are a grocery store, hair dresser and a couple of little restaurants-even a tiny second hand store!
I was 9yrs old when Bruce won the decathlon. Everyone looked up to him, and admired him. I remember him being on the Wheaties box forever. GOD bless you Jenner.
1976 was an AMAZING year in the US!! Our Bicentennial, it was a year long patriotic party…Winning a gold medal in the Olympics that year would have been beyond epic!!
I was in the eleventh grade in 1976. I ran Track that year and watched the Olympics. Jenner was amazing to watch as you can see in this post. He was like Captain America winning the Decathlon during the Bicentennial. Amazing time.
Twelve years, TWELVE years, this man trained for the olympics. Twelve straight years. Every minute of every day, of every week, of every month , of every year.....I can't even imagine that kind of discipline. That is so impossible to me. This man sacrificed everything for his dream. His teenage years and his twenties were nothing but training and then some. It's just mind blowing, it really is. His family will never be able to even comprehend that part of his life. What he lived back then and his life now couldn't be more extremely different. Not that that's a bad thing. He just actually had to WORK to get where he is at. He is the epitome of hard work.
Ask a 5 year old gymnast that after they stop at 16 and after the olympics what that feels like. Dominique Dawes has competed in 3 consecutive olympics and metaled in all three not to mention the first 12 years was training for the first olympic games they competed in. Bruce totally kicked ass.
This was the year (1976) I graduated high school; it was our country’s bicentennial (and American pride has seldom been stronger); and it truly was the best Olympics in my lifetime. I watched every minute I could cram in!! It’s a tragedy what has happened in our country and to Bruce since then. May God have mercy!!!
Bruce was in the zone. It took a perfect day to break the record. This video shows Bruce in every event. That's what I was looking for. Everyone should see this performance at least once. Now I see why Bruce was on all those Wheaties boxes!
This was the same Olympic games where Nadia Comaneci scored all of those perfect tens. This was undoubtedly the greatest Olympic games during my lifetime. What a summer it was... the 4th of July revelry, the bicentennial celebrations and the most amazing summer Olympics imaginable.
Mine too. I was 11 and remember the whole family watching. I remember Nadia's performances. Ive watched the Olympics since then but that was the only time they seemed magical
@@evelynnsegura-coria9973 If police found his DNA on a crime scene, they'll say a man was here. Because he's a man. It'll never ever change. His perception of himself can be different, but it doesn't change who he is.
If somebody told me in 1976 that Bruce Jenner would have a sex change and O.J. Simpson would be in prison for murder, I would have laughed in their face.
Truly. Ran both the 400 and 400 hurdles in college. I preferred the hurdles because you could focus on the steps and hurdles. In the open 400, there's nothing to keep you distracted from all the pain you feel in the last 100.
On Netflix is a documentary called "Untold" his life as an athlete, husband and father AND his stuggle. It is very well done and heart rending. He struggled most of his life. No one chooses a struggle like this.
We were so proud of Bruce back then and still are today. What a winner for the US. You never hear much about him now in 2021 but for decades he was so well known.
Jenner on the Norm McDonald podcast is a great interview. Instantly disarmed me with "I'm not a woman, I'm a trans woman". Hey, Fair enough. And then tells of training for the events we just watched here. What a machine.
Thank you for this. A very interesting documentary on an incredible Olympic performance. The Montreal Olympics was a turning point for Australia. We did worse at that Olympics than any other. We won one silver medal and 4 bronze. It was by far the worst performance an Australian team had ever delivered. I remember being in my school hall and watching the 1500 mens swim and Stephen Holland was our great hope for a gold - but it was not to be. As a result of this Olympics Australia suddenly realised we could not longer rely on talented amateurs so the government set up the Institute of Sport and we have done much better ever since - especially in the pool.
Wow, I am truly inspired. I think I'm going to start training as a track runner and just try to get in the best physical shape for my health and enjoyment of it. Bruce Jenner was The athlete of the world in 1976. May God bless his soul.
I know him as an athlete and a stepdad. Ive never watched the Olympics since I was born in '85. It would be so easy to say that these haters are plain ignorant when I think they are just misinformed and uneducated. Keep an open mind. Not knowing who you are is hard enough for any person but having to go thru what he went thru.. Not everyone will be brave enough to face and deal with it.. in public. we are who we are, as part of the human race, we just need to respect them.
To @pennylane518: A man can NOT become a woman, ever, and vice versa. What Bruce has done, and is doing, is living out his sexual fetish in public. There is no such thing as a trans woman, because men can NOT transition into women. Telling the truth is NOT being a “hater, or mis-informed, or uneducated.” Who said anything about disrespecting Bruce? Bruce can live any way he wants to, but I draw the line at anyone making me pretend that Biology 101 does NOT exist, and go along with their mental illness.
What I remember was the the German women being built like men and a bush growth growing under their arms. They would also win most of the races they were in. I think they were all juiced up.🤣🤣
The ‘kick’ on the back straight in the 1500m is one of the most amazing moments in sports, not just Olympics, history. It was Usain Bolt 2008 Level of superhuman that is so rare, the highlights would be less than 1 hour. -The Romanian gymnast Comaneci’s perfect 10 on the Uneven Bars. -Federer & Nadal at Wimbledon when the light was fading. -Tiger at his first Masters bowing the field away to become the youngest winner with largest margin of victory with lowest score ever, & hugging his Dad, over 20 years later, hugging his kids after winning there for his first major, nevermind Masters, in a decade+. -1980 ice hockey Olympic Final USA beating USSR. But most people under 50 are unaware of Jenner’s...that’s the sad part.
Figured his parents would have said he was into Barbie dolls or something like that!!! Bewildered on now when you google him it’s like he never existed!!!
Not sure where Manic Movies got this copy (perhaps from Library of Congress, which had one), but it is a very high-quality upload of the original, which I produced and directed for General Mills/Wheaties. Gives a nice portrait of Jenner when he was a man (I think!). I guess he's still a man, but claims to be a woman trapped in a man's body. In the words of a friend, our "takeaway from the touching portion of Jenner's interview with Dianne Sawyer on ABC-TV's "20/20" is that his very public journey will help other transgenders go through their traumatic experience." I wish him all the best. He was fun to work with, and surely is/was an Olympic Champion!
It's not bravery and it was not easy for him. He lost his family and a lot of respect. He had no choice but to fulfil his end of the bargain. People who do not fulfill their end of the bargain have very bad things happen to them and their loved ones. In order to achieve great, fame, fortune and success in this world; you have to have a contract with the god of this world, satan. Many of these Olympic athletes had trained just as hard and as long as Jenner; but only the god of this world decides who to bestow his largesse on. Jenner had to fulfil his agreement with satan: the fulfilment of his warped Transgender/homosexual agenda. Look closely and you will see that all the great actors, actresses, heads of large corporations, heads of Government, etc. belong to the secret satanic cabal.
This was an interesting watch....i wasnt even born yet but i remembered hearing about him on a Wheaties box from my older siblings. I never uderstood what the big deal was. He definitely made his mark in history. Awesome!
I, had absolutely no concept what Jenner did or was famous for other than being married to KK and being Transgender. Wow! Jenner, was a big deal back then..
@@FreedomofSpeech865 I read that Jenner's picture was on Wheaties Cereal box and he was a huge American Hero, back when Dinosaurs roamed the earth.. Who knew??

I watched a documentary about Jenner on Netflix. It is shocking how little support that he got from the USOC. It seemed like he did it all on his own. No money-no resources. Just his own daily grind. The last of the true amateur era.
I've only just discovered Jenner now an what he did as was before my time but its friggin inspiring how he knew he wasn't right in his soul and thought it was about them medal but in fact its far deeper than just winning gold for him...me personally I'd be happy to just achieve one event win. I guess thats what makes a true champion, to want gold in everything.
P.s....at the start of the doco i swear those russians kissed😂, sadly them days a man was hard strong with no weak emotion allowed to be shown. Nowadays vulnerability is seen as a strength.
Imagine the strength and determination to achieve that victory in his younger life. In recent years he has applied those same qualities to change his life in an enormous way. I admire that person
It is tough for many Olympic athletes to feel the highs and accolades from the public for one year. If they are living for the approval of the public, then they will live a long depressed life.
Bruce Jenner has always been my hero and a hero to the United States. I was 15 watching him and the entire country stopped everything to watch his final few events!!
Surf Board The underlying cause of gay/transgenderphobia........a so called straight guy's insecurity he would be unattractive to ANY gender or sexuality........ you've probably been turned down by at least one gay/transgender person in your life , surfboard? ....and you weren't even wise to it ...?
This is the guy I used to see on the Wheaties box when I was a kid. This is the guy all kids my age (about 7 or 8 years old back then) wanted to grow up to be like. Wtf happened?
Don’t idolize people 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ simple as that. Celebrities are real people and aren’t gonna be exactly who you want them to be. They are human beings.
Listening to Jenner's closing remarks on this from back then and keeping in mind where Jenner is at in life now, wow. Bruce was the man, but Caitlyn is a slayer!!
Holy smokes he was smokin' back then. What a champion! So virile and masculine. His first wife was quoted as saying that he had no idea how good looking he was. When I saw photos of him circa Khardasian, I was saddened by his "plastic" and rather unnatural appearance. Fast forward to now, I hope Jenner is more at peace and on a happier path now. 🧡🧡
I remember at 12 years old watching the 1976 Montreal Olympics like it happened yesterday, it was a great games. Bruce Jenner, Sugar Ray Leonard, Nadia Comaneci were just a few superstar names of the highest order. Sugar Ray went on to greater things in professional boxing. Even the very young decathlon legend Daley Thompson was there to gain experience.
I have never seen this before. This is the Bruce Jenner I knew (and Bertha the dog). I was out there at San Jose City College training at the same time as he was. Well I was only there for an hour and 15 minutes between bus transfers. He was always there, 8 hours a day, every day. Nobody else did that. There was no money in it. People had jobs. I had school. People had lives. He'd sell insurance at night but Christy made the money to support this, working as a stewardess for United Airlines. We competed many times in individual events and in the local decathlons. I was faster, I jumped farther, challenged by running against the star. But he clobbered me on the strength and technical events in a competition that for him was just a training exercise--preparation for the big days documented in this film. That's why I'm a nobody and the Olympic decathlon was just the first step on his or her road to being an international celebrity.
The most heartbreaking aspect of this saga is losing "the man," Bruce. He was an icon, a hero, a superstar. Now, he represents the harsh reality of grappling with mental health issues... and losing.
Jenner is bright, intelligent, well spoken, had and is having a great career, is enjoying his family, seems very happy in his body now, have you listened to his talks, what mental issues exactly ? To feel good in your skin is something many regular folks, who havent endured a gender change, cannot even boast. Think and study before judging.
Bruce Jenner was my teen age hero. What he wanted to do,he did, all the way. It is more sane to me than guys with balls allowed to compete versus girls for the reason they feel like girls inside.
Everyone needs to chill. People are allowed they're opinions... I liked him better when he was a track star but that's MY opinion. He didn't have to make such a big deal out of it. Like he could've done it secretly without all these magazines and interviews giving him all this attention.
I remember we have a magazine with his photo in the front.We saw him win,specially my big brother with l remember in his room talking to me about the Olympics.l was 10 yo here in Puerto Rico.Just imagine the bad impression we got with his decision.l only hope his healing.
***** Anyone mentally and emotionally capable of such heartlessness is capable of ANYTHING. Btw, he was knee-deep in the drug operation that ended in OJ Simpson being framed for murder in the 90's. Indeed, this is a very dirty guy.
I vaguely remember the 1976 Summer Olympics. I mostly remember gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci and her perfect 10.00s. I also remember Bruce Jenner winning the Decathlon and waving the US flag as he did his victory run around the track.
So inspiring. I never knew much about BRUCE JENNER! You were a amazing inspiring man at that time. And now you are an inspiration as a "female" . Congratulations on being yourself and kicking ass ,. As someone who didn't feel like their true self you powered through it with strength and a major title!!! Much love for that

To me (he) will always be the OLYMPIC CHAMPION I seen on TV when I was a kid.
The 400 is absolutely an endurance event! Its basically a continuous sprint, and is often regarded as one of the most exhausting events in track.

It is tough for many Olympic athletes to feel the highs and accolades from the public for one year. If they are living for the approval of the public, then they will live a long depressed life.
I think your on to something Todd
Bruce Jenner has always been my hero and a hero to the United States. I was 15 watching him and the entire country stopped everything to watch his final few events!!
He inspired me in track & field, he lives on in my memories
3:26 he looks exactly like Kylie and Kendall as kids.
Yes I remember watching him.
He was in my cousins wedding, I went to Graceland also and my brother ran with him in track at Graceland College.
Good luck to you, Bruce. Do what makes you happy.
Thank you. Everyone else are such assholes.
Arrogant in a mans voice, the fools follow

Surf Board The underlying cause of gay/transgenderphobia........a so called straight guy's insecurity he would be unattractive to ANY gender or sexuality........
you've probably been turned down by at least one gay/transgender person in your life , surfboard? ....and you weren't even wise to it ...?
Thank SJCC Track and the San Jose Community of Athletes.... All the best... remember you running the fields and your wife out there...
This is the guy I used to see on the Wheaties box when I was a kid. This is the guy all kids my age (about 7 or 8 years old back then) wanted to grow up to be like. Wtf happened?
smithraymond09029 He stepped out of the Wheaties box and became a real person.
Don’t idolize people 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ simple as that. Celebrities are real people and aren’t gonna be exactly who you want them to be. They are human beings.
Listening to Jenner's closing remarks on this from back then and keeping in mind where Jenner is at in life now, wow. Bruce was the man, but Caitlyn is a slayer!!
Gotta give you thumbs up for your comment. He was my MAN hero and now he foo foo woman! Baaaaaahaaa🐐
Gosh I just LOVE Bruce! I HOPE I get his autograph one day.
he's now a woman
@@riptideog8783 That's...not possible.
@@riptideog8783still a man
2023 Still proud and admired by his achievements as an Olympic Gold Mentalist for this country.
Holy smokes he was smokin' back then. What a champion! So virile and masculine. His first wife was quoted as saying that he had no idea how good looking he was.
When I saw photos of him circa Khardasian, I was saddened by his "plastic" and rather unnatural appearance.
Fast forward to now, I hope Jenner is more at peace and on a happier path now. 🧡🧡
I remember at 12 years old watching the 1976 Montreal Olympics like it happened yesterday, it was a great games. Bruce Jenner, Sugar Ray Leonard, Nadia Comaneci were just a few superstar names of the highest order. Sugar Ray went on to greater things in professional boxing. Even the very young decathlon legend Daley Thompson was there to gain experience.
God bless Bruce Jenner ---- and the young man that he was.
And still is
Watching this now feels so weird.
And sad
Bruce was a perfectly gorgeous man.
Great doco on a sporting legend.
He went from vaulting off poles, to mounting them.
LMAO XD
LOL dead.
Omg LOL!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
😭😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Transphobe
Top shelf elite athlete!
But he cheated by using steroids!
The best of the 76 olympics!
I have never seen this before. This is the Bruce Jenner I knew (and Bertha the dog). I was out there at San Jose City College training at the same time as he was. Well I was only there for an hour and 15 minutes between bus transfers. He was always there, 8 hours a day, every day. Nobody else did that. There was no money in it. People had jobs. I had school. People had lives. He'd sell insurance at night but Christy made the money to support this, working as a stewardess for United Airlines.
We competed many times in individual events and in the local decathlons. I was faster, I jumped farther, challenged by running against the star. But he clobbered me on the strength and technical events in a competition that for him was just a training exercise--preparation for the big days documented in this film. That's why I'm a nobody and the Olympic decathlon was just the first step on his or her road to being an international celebrity.
where can i get those shorts. that what this video is all about.
Incredible that this extraordinary athlete is today Kathlyn Jenner!!!!
Kaitlyn jenner
@@stephanieschechter2456 lol , Caitlin Jenner
Look at the shoes they wore! I wonder how fast he/all the athletes would have run in today's running shoes.
these were great docs.
The most heartbreaking aspect of this saga is losing "the man," Bruce. He was an icon, a hero, a superstar. Now, he represents the harsh reality of grappling with mental health issues... and losing.
Jenner is bright, intelligent, well spoken, had and is having a great career, is enjoying his family, seems very happy in his body now, have you listened to his talks, what mental issues exactly ? To feel good in your skin is something many regular folks, who havent endured a gender change, cannot even boast. Think and study before judging.
Bruce Jenner was my teen age hero. What he wanted to do,he did, all the way.
It is more sane to me than guys with balls allowed to compete versus girls for the reason they feel like girls inside.
Remember when Bruce was on the breakfast Wheaties cereal box back when we could still look at him when we ate?
But Bruce is less sick than the insane bunch who want men swimming against women.
@MoonStone2626 his family is broken. And hes stressed af. You can tell.
You realize there are much greater standards in life you could have?
Great documentary
I was a Jr in high school when he did that and I remember how much I wanted to be like him. Not any more!
The main thing that allowed Jenner to win the Gold was his mind, the strongest of all muscles!
Everyone needs to chill. People are allowed they're opinions... I liked him better when he was a track star but that's MY opinion. He didn't have to make such a big deal out of it. Like he could've done it secretly without all these magazines and interviews giving him all this attention.
I remember we have a magazine with his photo in the front.We saw him win,specially my big brother with l remember in his room talking to me about the Olympics.l was 10 yo here in Puerto Rico.Just imagine the bad impression we got with his decision.l only hope his healing.
OMG! I used tho worship this guy as a teen in 1976. He was on the Wheaties's cereal boxes. What the heck happened to him....?
Brilliant. What an amazing life story.
I miss Bruce Jenner. Heartbreaking.
I used to idolized this athlete... until he lost is identity! The SADDEST thing to behold! The Bruce Jenner I know is gone!
He's so handsome
Wow Bruce is into all sports! Amazing! 😱
RIP Bruce. We'll miss ya breh.
1:08 that kiss tho lol
Yep, the woman who supported him through all this was dumped immediately afterwards. A true left-hander, he is.
*****
Anyone mentally and emotionally capable of such heartlessness is capable of ANYTHING. Btw, he was knee-deep in the drug operation that ended in OJ Simpson being framed for murder in the 90's. Indeed, this is a very dirty guy.
@@20alphabet
Yeah. And don't forget his involvement in faking the Moon landing.
❤
I vaguely remember the 1976 Summer Olympics. I mostly remember gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci and her perfect 10.00s. I also remember Bruce Jenner winning the Decathlon and waving the US flag as he did his victory run around the track.
sad that this man will mostly be known for his ridiculous 'transition' rather than a magnificent athletic triumph.
Gorgeous Man, good hair- body built by the Gods. Praise his accomplishment, but sad at the loss of a great man.
Bruce is a role model for athletes
truly, his story is what motivates me, what a beast
I mean.. I don't plan on having a sex change so no thanks... I'll pass
So inspiring. I never knew much about BRUCE JENNER! You were a amazing inspiring man at that time. And now you are an inspiration as a "female" . Congratulations on being yourself and kicking ass ,. As someone who didn't feel like their true self you powered through it with strength and a major title!!! Much love for that
Still male
