}}}} Caitlyn Marie Jenner (born William Bruce Jenner, October 28, 1949), formerly Bruce Jenner, is an American television personality and retired athletic champion. In 1976, Jenner won the gold medal for decathlon at the Montreal Summer Olympics. Since 2007, Jenner has been appearing on E!'s reality television program ''Keeping Up with the Kardashians'' and is currently starring in the reality show ''I Am Cait'', which focuses on her gender transition. Jenner was a college football player for the Graceland Yellowjackets before incurring a knee injury requiring surgery. Coach L.D. Weldon, who had coached Olympic decathlete Jack Parker, convinced Jenner to try the decathlon. After intense training, Jenner won the 1976 Olympic decathlon title (after a Soviet athlete had won the title in 1972) during the Cold War, gaining fame as "an all-American hero".〔 A third successive world record led to the unofficial title of "world's greatest athlete", which traditionally goes to the winner of the Olympic decathlon. Jenner subsequently established a career in television, film, authoring, as a ''Playgirl'' cover model, auto racing and business. Jenner has six children from marriages to Chrystie Crownover, Linda Thompson and Kris Jenner. A few months after divorcing Kris, Jenner revealed her gender identification as a trans woman in an April 2015 ''20/20'' interview with Diane Sawyer and publicly announced her name change from Bruce to Caitlyn in a July 2015 ''Vanity Fair'' cover story. Her name and gender change became official on September 25, 2015. She has been called the most famous openly transgender person in the world. ==Early life== Jenner was born on October 28, 1949, in Mount Kisco, New York to Esther Ruth (''née'' McGuire) and William Hugh Jenner. Her father was an arborist.〔("William Bruce Jenner" ). Geni. Retrieved April 25, 2015.〕 Her father and paternal grandparents were from Canada. She has two sisters, Lisa and Pam. Her younger brother, Burt, was killed in a car accident in Canton, Connecticut, in 1976, shortly after Jenner's success at the Olympics. As a young child, Jenner was diagnosed with dyslexia. She attended Sleepy Hollow High School in Sleepy Hollow, New York for freshman and sophomore years〔Lucas, Lisa; Adams Otis, Ginger; McShane, Larry (April 18, 2015).

("Will Bruce Jenner return to Tarrytown?" ). ''The Journal News''.〕 and Newtown High School in Newtown, Connecticut for junior and senior years, graduating in 1968.〔Davis, Stacy (March 22, 2011). ("Jenner's name taken off football field" ). ''The News-Times''.〕 Jenner earned a football scholarship and attended Graceland College (now Graceland University) in Lamoni, Iowa, but was forced to stop playing football and switch to the decathlon because of a knee injury. Jenner's mentor, Graceland track coach L. D. Weldon, was the first to recognize Jenner's potential and encouraged her to pursue the decathlon. Jenner debuted in the decathlon at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa in 1970, placing fifth. Jenner graduated from Graceland College in 1973 with a degree in physical education. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caitlyn Jenner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
