Caitlyn Jenner rose to fame as an esteemed athlete, and remained a household name thanks to her popularity on ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’

Caitlyn started off playing college football for the Graceland Yellowjackets, but after a knee injury, she soon switched to decathlon (a multiple day event that consists of various track and field sports). Caitlyn went on to eventually become a gold medalist after winning the Olympic decathlon in 1976, and she was considered the ‘world’s greatest athlete’ by many fans.

Caitlyn blew up on the public radar, again, thanks to her family’s reality television show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ which premiered in 2007. She had married Kris Jenner (her third wife) in 1991 and the show followed the daily lives of Caitlyn, Kris, their two kids (Kendall, Kylie) and Kris’ four other children Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob.

In 2015, Caitlyn announced that she would be transitioning into a woman (she was previously known as Bruce Jenner). She has had full gender reassignment surgery and has been living as a woman in the years since.
