    Bruce Jenner

    In a few words, could somebody tell me who he is and what he's famous for?

    I just can't bring myself to click on any of the interminable links to stories about him that seem to be everywhere at the moment.

    Quite a famous sports star back in the day. Now the step father of the Kardashian clan (how did my predictive text know that?) and newly 'out' transgender person. Hope that helps.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      I wasn't too sure but Mr. Wikipedia does:

      A former college football player, Jenner came to international attention as a decathlete, winning the gold medal in the men's decathlon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and setting a world record not beaten until 1980. Jenner subsequently starred in numerous movies and television specials including several made-for-TV movies, and was briefly Erik Estrada's replacement on the TV series CHiPs.

        Say no more...

        Thank you, I think you've spared me that awful feeling you get when the life force literally drains out of you when you follow any show biz related link in the DM.

          Here's the last event of the 1976 Decathlon where he claimed the gold and world record:

            If she wants us to believe she is a woman, maybe she should return the gold medal she got for illegally competing in a men's event.

              Women can compete in men's events but not the other way round.

                  No, but with female hormones presumably she's the incredible sulk once a month
                  Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                  No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                    So I can't compete in the 100m hovering contest?
