0:00:00.006,0:00:03.006
could have a jack

0:00:04.048,0:00:07.061
yeah

0:00:07.061,0:00:11.138
yeah

0:00:27.019,0:00:30.019
sweet

0:00:34.012,0:00:37.012
yeah

0:00:46.066,0:00:50.095
hello I'm Chris Fowler and welcome to[br]sports century when Bruce Jenner was

0:00:50.095,0:00:54.142
dubbed the world's greatest athlete a[br]generation ago he flashed that magnetic

0:00:55.042,0:00:59.107
championship smile and took his[br]celebrity to the bank but in time the

0:01:00.007,0:01:05.050
skin of his impossibly wholesome image[br]were away and a real life emerged makes

0:01:05.004,0:01:10.021
with success regret and human frailty as[br]we'll see over the next half hour

0:01:10.066,0:01:20.104
it all began in the summer of nineteen[br]seventy-six in Montreal 76 was a very

0:01:21.004,0:01:25.069
important olympics the Cold War still[br]its height

0:01:25.069,0:01:29.143
Soviet Union which was known as the evil[br]empire still existed

0:01:30.043,0:01:36.043
olympic games were a moral equivalent[br]war at that time this was our country's

0:01:36.043,0:01:38.095
bicentennial year 1976

0:01:38.095,0:01:41.101
three weeks after the biggest fourth of[br]July and birthday celebration this

0:01:42.001,0:01:44.032
country's ever celebrated 200 years

0:01:44.032,0:01:46.032
patriotism is high

0:01:46.032,0:01:50.115
it was a low point in the decathlon for[br]Americans at that point and I think

0:01:51.015,0:01:56.037
there was a mood to look for someone to[br]come back to to be Bob Matthias to be

0:01:56.091,0:01:58.095
rafer johnson

0:01:59.031,0:02:04.038
the United States brightest hope to[br]regain decathlon glory was 26 year old

0:02:04.038,0:02:08.836
Bruce Jenner tall and arresting Lee[br]handsome he was the ideal male athlete

0:02:09.179,0:02:13.650
for millions of Americans but beneath[br]the image lay the potential for more

0:02:13.065,0:02:16.077
than just a gold medal in 1972

0:02:16.077,0:02:19.146
I made the decision that I would go for[br]years totally dedicate myself to what i

0:02:20.046,0:02:23.142
was doing and then I'll move on what was[br]over with so I went into that

0:02:24.042,0:02:29.055
competition knowing that that would be[br]the last time I would ever do this

0:02:29.055,0:02:32.077
what was it state was the difference[br]between

0:02:32.077,0:02:36.130
one lifestyle is supposed to another all[br]of the payoff terms of what he wanted to

0:02:37.003,0:02:42.040
accomplish in his heart and whatever was[br]going to go into the wallet was riding

0:02:42.067,0:02:44.966
on how we perform them two days

0:02:45.569,0:02:50.606
you did not have to be immediate genius[br]to realize that this was somebody that

0:02:50.939,0:02:54.005
you wanted to put on camera with his[br]wife and his dog

0:02:54.599,0:03:00.540
Bruce and Christy they were milk and[br]cookies and apple pie is our faces

0:03:01.049,0:03:05.040
lucky socks I think they understood the[br]whole picture

0:03:05.004,0:03:08.543
I'm not going to say that they packaged[br]and sold it but they were very

0:03:08.579,0:03:12.581
intelligent about what they had to bring[br]to the table and and how to get it

0:03:12.599,0:03:15.656
across at the end of the first day it is[br]entirely possible you will be a little

0:03:16.169,0:03:16.980
bit behind

0:03:16.098,0:03:19.100
should we be worried second day has all[br]my good events and

0:03:20.018,0:03:23.077
everything works out all right we should[br]go ahead after it's all over

0:03:23.239,0:03:29.030
standing between Jenner and his goal the[br]1976 montreal games with Nikolai Avila

0:03:29.003,0:03:32.048
the Soviet decathlete who want to look[br]at gold four years earlier

0:03:33.349,0:03:36.391
Jenner exploded off the blocks of the[br]100 meters

0:03:36.769,0:03:39.920
the first of the 10 events

0:03:39.092,0:03:43.021
I run the greatest hundred meters of my[br]life

0:03:44.359,0:03:47.362
I thought right there I just want two[br]games

0:03:47.389,0:03:53.410
I always would be Bruce in the 400[br]meters not only beat him but beat him by

0:03:53.599,0:03:56.599
a substantial margin

0:03:57.139,0:04:02.161
we all were keeping pace through the[br]first 200 and then Bruce just absolutely

0:04:02.359,0:04:06.400
worked around the turn and as I was[br]running out that way you know he's gonna

0:04:06.769,0:04:07.777
die

0:04:07.849,0:04:10.849
he never died

0:04:12.026,0:04:14.068
yeah

0:04:14.068,0:04:20.067
he was on a high he's walking by Avila[br]in the tunnel after the 400 pre-selected

0:04:20.067,0:04:21.082
I've likes it

0:04:21.082,0:04:26.991
get a good night's sleep boosted by free[br]personal best

0:04:27.729,0:04:31.734
gender finish the first day of[br]competition 35 points behind on the

0:04:32.229,0:04:37.180
second day after running six in the[br]110-meter hurdles Jenner won the discus

0:04:37.018,0:04:41.083
and pole vault before cruising through[br]the javelin then they finished with an

0:04:41.083,0:04:46.096
exclamation point in the 1500 meters hit[br]me that it's seven o'clock will be the

0:04:46.096,0:04:51.124
final - 1500 meters and I started crying[br]because in 20 minutes it's gonna be over

0:04:52.024,0:04:54.100
with no job but I really don't know what[br]I'm gonna do tomorrow

0:04:55.000,0:05:00.039
I started crying to be the 15 or is that[br]knew it was so there

0:05:00.039,0:05:08.070
was no more hoping because we derived[br]this Soviet soldier a lead that lifted

0:05:08.007,0:05:13.065
echo was known as the best 1500 meter[br]runner in the cath lon history

0:05:14.028,0:05:18.066
Bruce has the gold medal sewn up I think[br]he decided i think i'd like to test

0:05:18.066,0:05:21.066
myself against this time

0:05:30.043,0:05:41.051
I didn't train for years of my life on[br]this last 300 slop and man I took it

0:05:42.023,0:05:45.023
yeah

0:05:52.011,0:05:53.104
yeah

0:05:54.004,0:06:00.022
seconds after breaking his own decathlon[br]world record with 8600 18 points

0:06:00.022,0:06:04.096
Jenner's curtain call created a lasting[br]image somebody right on cable American

0:06:04.096,0:06:04.177
flag

0:06:05.077,0:06:08.122
I can tell you is for faggots that[br]pretty plant and I remember him saying

0:06:09.022,0:06:12.061
what do I do with this I can't put it[br]down and look on patriotic and I don't

0:06:12.061,0:06:14.158
want to run around waving it because[br]it's going to look a little may be

0:06:15.058,0:06:18.167
staged or something

0:06:18.689,0:06:24.758
he saw me over there just struggling[br]with these guys and he immediately

0:06:25.379,0:06:31.421
crossed over and came over and push them[br]out of the way in the tunnel piece set

0:06:31.799,0:06:35.040
it's over i'm never gonna do this again

0:06:35.004,0:06:35.081
yeah

0:06:35.081,0:06:38.099
I'm tired of all the struggling the plan[br]worked

0:06:39.066,0:06:43.164
for a long time the idea of the world's[br]greatest all-around athlete being the

0:06:44.064,0:06:49.098
Catholic champion was something that[br]most Americans grasped Bruce Jenner

0:06:49.098,0:06:56.106
became a major celebrity off 1976 every[br]newspaper for a week had vs face on the

0:06:57.078,0:06:57.141
cover

0:06:58.041,0:07:01.050
I realize life was different wait a[br]second everybody knows my name all of a

0:07:02.031,0:07:05.130
sudden it's still remember cab driver[br]putting the brakes on this cab and

0:07:06.003,0:07:10.041
getting out and running across fifth[br]avenue to come over and no shake his

0:07:10.068,0:07:13.116
hand when you get this charisma and he[br]had

0:07:15.007,0:07:20.029
natural for not necessarily bruise[br]moving out into the different meanings

0:07:20.029,0:07:24.037
of advertising with advertising moving[br]and his wheaties was looking for someone

0:07:24.037,0:07:30.043
to be the definitive champion and there[br]he was grabbing that flag

0:07:31.012,0:07:35.041
I put in twelve years of training[br]getting ready for that day and down a

0:07:35.041,0:07:40.057
lot of wheaties Jenner was the first[br]celebrity athlete of this more modern

0:07:40.057,0:07:42.061
era and carried that whole thing forward

0:07:42.097,0:07:47.164
I think we started era of athletes[br]almost wanting to be an obese box

0:07:48.064,0:07:54.151
Bruce and Bruce is deal-making was part[br]of the opening of a new frontier in a

0:07:55.051,0:07:58.051
new way of doing things commercially in[br]sports

0:08:01.969,0:08:04.160
yeah

0:08:04.016,0:08:07.019
piece of wood have been called the[br]serene olympics was shattered just

0:08:07.046,0:08:12.131
before dawn this morning about five[br]o'clock when Arab terrorists killed one

0:08:13.031,0:08:13.610
man

0:08:13.889,0:08:19.020
they've been holding 14 others hostage[br]since then four years before his triumph

0:08:19.002,0:08:23.741
in Montreal 22 year old Bruce Jenner was[br]set to compete in the decathlon

0:08:23.759,0:08:28.790
when the games were struck by tragedy[br]Bruce at the time resented the fact that

0:08:29.069,0:08:34.159
his competition was threatened by this[br]you felt very personally

0:08:35.083,0:08:40.085
shipped out of his olympics it was a[br]tunnel vision

0:08:40.085,0:08:41.171
the Bruce as

0:08:42.071,0:08:47.084
continue to take him throughout the[br]years and years of athletics after the

0:08:47.084,0:08:50.132
games resumed Jenner finished 10th in[br]the decathlon

0:08:51.032,0:08:54.041
but as he watched Nikolai Khabibulin to[br]win the gold medal

0:08:54.041,0:08:58.115
the dream was born for the first time I[br]knew what I wanted out of life and that

0:08:59.015,0:09:02.099
was it this guy has it literally started[br]training that night at midnight i'm

0:09:02.099,0:09:04.142
running through the streets munich[br]germany training for the games

0:09:05.042,0:09:08.078
I train from that day on through the[br]games six to eight hours a day every day

0:09:08.078,0:09:10.124
365 days out of the year

0:09:11.024,0:09:17.036
born in October 28 1949 Jenner was[br]raised in westchester county suburb of

0:09:17.036,0:09:18.041
New York City

0:09:18.041,0:09:21.140
you showed early signs of athletic[br]talent sports was kind of my little

0:09:22.004,0:09:25.013
Savior but something that I love that I[br]was a dyslexic kid in a funk second

0:09:26.003,0:09:28.088
grade and terrible low self-esteem is[br]young it

0:09:29.015,0:09:32.048
so for me sports was my place to prove[br]myself

0:09:33.014,0:09:39.098
played football basketball track coach[br]from Wilton Connecticut said when I look

0:09:39.098,0:09:40.100
at Bruce

0:09:41.000,0:09:45.058
he is such an all-around athlete this is[br]all i can think of it

0:09:45.058,0:09:49.096
to cap in 1968 veteran track coach

0:09:49.096,0:09:53.104
LD weldon of tiny Graceland college in[br]Iowa convince Jenner that he could be a

0:09:54.076,0:09:59.149
decathlete there were only fourteen[br]fifteen hundred students when we were

0:10:00.049,0:10:00.121
broke

0:10:01.021,0:10:04.024
we would just take long walks and go to[br]the dump

0:10:04.051,0:10:07.084
shoot rats with this 22 he went

0:10:07.084,0:10:12.106
Drake Relays he came away from that[br]track meet and said coach

0:10:13.006,0:10:17.029
this is for me I don't have to rely on[br]teammates

0:10:17.095,0:10:23.095
I only have to rely on myself generous[br]hard work at Graceland paid off in july

0:10:23.095,0:10:24.139
of 1972

0:10:25.039,0:10:28.042
he surprised the track and field world[br]by making the Olympic team

0:10:29.023,0:10:33.067
later in the wake of the games Jenner's[br]soft what he considered to be the best

0:10:33.067,0:10:35.134
training environment to chase his[br]obsession

0:10:36.034,0:10:40.036
I said you know you need to come to San[br]Jose at san jose city college we are

0:10:40.036,0:10:41.098
very unique situation

0:10:41.098,0:10:45.172
many of the world's greatest athletes[br]train on a daily basis when they looked

0:10:46.072,0:10:48.881
up with Bruce Jenner and he said I'm[br]here

0:10:49.529,0:10:52.800
yeah

0:10:52.008,0:10:56.094
crews three to four days a week would go[br]to san jose y and do a weight training

0:10:57.066,0:10:59.145
program that he himself put together

0:11:00.045,0:11:04.080
you walk in there and there was a fear[br]bach and mac welcomes Bruce Jenner and

0:11:04.008,0:11:09.167
several Olympic weightlifters let me was[br]just a tremendous atmosphere

0:11:10.709,0:11:15.060
I couldn't afford a membership so I[br]would sneak in the back door so i didn't

0:11:15.006,0:11:19.025
have to go by the front desk in the[br]nineteen seventies the tenets of

0:11:19.079,0:11:21.810
amateurism were still honored in America

0:11:21.081,0:11:25.110
not so in the Eastern Bloc countries the[br]Soviets were just basically

0:11:26.001,0:11:27.084
state-supported apple

0:11:27.093,0:11:30.192
they have to worry about some kind of[br]job some kind of support of setting up

0:11:31.092,0:11:34.116
their situation like Bruce ultimately[br]had to do

0:11:35.016,0:11:38.052
going up against the big machine they[br]can have their system

0:11:38.052,0:11:42.054
this is about me this is not about[br]anybody else there was a certain

0:11:42.054,0:11:43.125
positive side to it

0:11:44.025,0:11:47.124
we go out and train based on a schedule[br]that we had set up

0:11:49.081,0:11:52.132
the East Germans could never do that[br]they were told what to do

0:11:53.032,0:11:56.089
the state of training for track and[br]field in those days was simply one of

0:11:56.089,0:12:01.126
struggling or finding a way to survive[br]there was no support whatsoever from the

0:12:02.026,0:12:06.055
Federation everyone had to find their[br]own way to support themselves

0:12:07.093,0:12:11.119
we would do things like go to World War[br]II qantas i would get up there and say I

0:12:12.019,0:12:15.058
want to do is to you I think it's gonna[br]be the next Olympic champion

0:12:15.058,0:12:19.099
here's what we need we need money for[br]food we need money for tape I mean kind

0:12:19.099,0:12:23.161
of the basic necessities now that's how[br]ridiculous it was surviving largely on

0:12:24.061,0:12:27.112
the nine hundred dollar monthly salary[br]of his wife kristen a flight attendant

0:12:28.012,0:12:29.035
Jenner broke

0:12:29.035,0:12:34.524
ah the lobs record at a meet in eugene[br]oregon in august of 1975 when he crossed

0:12:34.839,0:12:35.980
the finish line

0:12:35.098,0:12:40.111
Christie ran out to embrace him and he[br]turned and made a big deal out of it we

0:12:41.011,0:12:42.078
did it we broke the world

0:12:42.078,0:12:46.149
record not I its we and she kind of[br]looked at him and he said remember him

0:12:47.049,0:12:49.062
saying say it Christy

0:12:49.062,0:12:54.090
we did it she bought into the dream as[br]thoroughly as he did

0:12:54.009,0:12:58.050
sublimating yourself to such an extent[br]that about several months before the

0:12:59.031,0:13:03.033
Olympics she actually went into therapy[br]and joined a women's group wondering if

0:13:03.033,0:13:05.085
she had lost her identity

0:13:05.085,0:13:10.182
I live my life for him but it became my[br]goal to it became what I wanted more

0:13:11.082,0:13:12.084
than anything

0:13:13.002,0:13:16.065
if Christie had an equal share in his[br]dream

0:13:16.065,0:13:19.089
general Vision to prise more tangible[br]the sports immortality

0:13:20.073,0:13:25.095
you saw green beyond the goal this idea[br]of you know what I may be able to

0:13:25.095,0:13:31.131
capitalize eyes on success that he kept[br]on financially post-career with

0:13:32.031,0:13:37.065
something to just began to emerge[br]incremental e as i recall him saying my

0:13:37.065,0:13:38.103
future is secure

0:13:39.003,0:13:44.082
in other words i will be the fabled[br]world's greatest athlete and that should

0:13:44.082,0:13:45.117
bring me

0:13:46.017,0:13:49.041
corporate endorsements it just so[br]happens that the games are up with that

0:13:49.041,0:13:52.041
kind of happened to be the right guy at[br]the right place the right done

0:13:54.089,0:14:05.090
Bruce Jenner young ladies all over the[br]world of the gotta say wow there's the

0:14:05.189,0:14:11.264
decathlon champ and my wife and I are[br]very close together and it's made it a

0:14:11.939,0:14:13.034
little bit difficult on her sometimes

0:14:13.889,0:14:16.889
all of a sudden the immediate change in[br]our lives

0:14:18.259,0:14:22.354
early and generous new life as a world[br]celebrity he was blindsided by the death

0:14:23.209,0:14:28.228
of his younger brother bird in a car[br]wreck you go from a nation

0:14:28.939,0:14:34.040
I was elated for Bruce to the depths of[br]despair

0:14:35.085,0:14:38.264
my brother fooling around and Portia[br]Donald too fast

0:14:39.029,0:14:42.029
lost it you know kind of puts life right[br]back in perspective

0:14:43.008,0:14:49.011
Bruce handle it in a way similar to the[br]way he handled a lot of negative things

0:14:49.038,0:14:53.040
came in his life he just didn't deal[br]with it

0:14:53.004,0:14:58.008
within an hour to after the funeral we[br]were back on an airplane going back to

0:14:58.008,0:14:59.055
Los Angeles

0:15:00.027,0:15:04.032
I was at the super bowl of motocross at[br]the los angeles coliseum it happened

0:15:04.077,0:15:08.088
that week prior and the funeral was[br]already taken place and his Bruce

0:15:08.088,0:15:12.132
showing up at my race have a bruise what[br]are you doing here - Jim you have to

0:15:13.032,0:15:15.171
keep moving

0:15:15.459,0:15:17.200
yeah

0:15:17.002,0:15:21.028
after the games I put all my energy into[br]have a good time doing all the things i

0:15:21.046,0:15:24.052
didn't have the opportunity to do but a[br]motorcycle dirt bikes

0:15:25.006,0:15:29.101
he's racing cars and flying airplanes[br]and he was just really have an old

0:15:30.001,0:15:33.034
fantasy life a lot of people wish they[br]could have I went to this tennis

0:15:33.034,0:15:33.112
tournament

0:15:34.012,0:15:38.044
farrah fawcett she came over and said I[br]know what about three or four months ago

0:15:38.044,0:15:42.046
I never would've been able to reduce to[br]her that first year was a blur of

0:15:42.064,0:15:49.132
Hollywood stopped there was a[br]wholesomeness to us that I liked and I

0:15:50.032,0:15:53.095
didn't want to change that there was[br]something on a gut level that told me

0:15:53.095,0:15:57.163
that our souls were risk and I used to[br]tell bruce that i thought i was crazy

0:15:59.026,0:16:02.107
I think he was sort of caught up in what[br]was going on and the allure of what the

0:16:03.007,0:16:06.088
next step could be what they had was[br]beautiful because it was so innocent and

0:16:06.088,0:16:11.167
I think a lot of that was gone in 1979[br]with their second child on the way the

0:16:12.067,0:16:16.150
generals were legally separated after[br]seven years it was reported that Jenner

0:16:17.005,0:16:20.011
was linked romantically with actress[br]Linda Thompson

0:16:20.056,0:16:23.056
that was her painful for him personally[br]and professionally

0:16:24.055,0:16:27.055
it took its toll I think it contributed

0:16:28.042,0:16:31.117
- the ending of the relationship with[br]Wheaties took a couple shots of the

0:16:32.017,0:16:32.080
press

0:16:32.008,0:16:35.787
he was this all-american guy with the[br]all-american family and now that was

0:16:36.579,0:16:40.990
breaking up in january of nineteen[br]eighty-one Jenner married

0:16:40.099,0:16:44.688
Thompson with whom he had two more[br]children meanwhile his post Olympian

0:16:45.579,0:16:47.655
professional life was producing mixed[br]results

0:16:48.339,0:16:52.350
well he made some headway and sports[br]broadcasting Jenner sputtered as an

0:16:52.449,0:16:55.420
actor bruce ended up on chips

0:16:55.042,0:17:00.055
the showdown on the air for several[br]years and Erik Estrada was asking for a

0:17:00.055,0:17:01.060
big raise

0:17:01.006,0:17:04.095
and they said okay don't come back and[br]the heart Bruce Jenner

0:17:05.075,0:17:08.075
can he did a few episodes and Eric was[br]back at work

0:17:09.026,0:17:13.464
I think people wanted him to be[br]something that maybe he wasn't and he

0:17:13.699,0:17:15.410
didn't know he wasn't at the time

0:17:15.040,0:17:19.130
Clyde I didn't kill Kruger the idea was[br]to get him into movies and to make him a

0:17:20.002,0:17:24.005
big movie star and so he went along with[br]it but i don't think that was his drive

0:17:24.005,0:17:27.059
I don't think you didn't really have a[br]plan i think he had worked really hard

0:17:28.003,0:17:33.086
all of his life and he was now ready to[br]see where this same token you can't take

0:17:33.086,0:17:37.088
that coat celebrity lifestyle whatever[br]designer what they caught you just can't

0:17:37.088,0:17:38.096
take it seriously because it's not real[br]life

0:17:39.068,0:17:43.130
it's just kind of a game you play here[br]in Hollywood I think after the Olympics

0:17:44.003,0:17:48.044
all of a sudden everything changed and[br]he basically got everything he wanted

0:17:48.071,0:17:50.096
and I think that that's for anyone

0:17:50.096,0:17:53.117
a really hard thing to do it's almost[br]like be careful what you wish for

0:17:56.099,0:18:02.120
yeah

0:18:04.000,0:18:08.032
and the spring of nineteen eighty-six[br]Bruce Jenner separated from his second

0:18:08.032,0:18:12.124
wife Linda giving her as part of the[br]settlement is Malibu home after the

0:18:13.024,0:18:17.026
divorce with alimony and child support[br]payments going to his first wife

0:18:17.044,0:18:20.098
Christine he wrote ever deeper into[br]financial shadows

0:18:21.076,0:18:25.150
it's kind of mythic it away and think[br]about this fallen hero gold medal

0:18:26.005,0:18:27.088
sitting in his sock drawer

0:18:28.033,0:18:32.122
he was living in a one-room apartment in[br]LA he had two hundred dollars in the

0:18:33.022,0:18:37.078
bank and substantial amount of debt and[br]wondering what to do where to go

0:18:38.035,0:18:41.056
you think it was a period of transition[br]for him the glow would come off a little

0:18:41.056,0:18:45.127
bit of the commercial opportunities[br]because he was kind of yesterday's news

0:18:46.027,0:18:49.108
weren't there really wasn't that[br]motivated professionally when you're

0:18:50.008,0:18:52.084
growing up you think okay you're gonna[br]be married forever your family's gonna

0:18:52.084,0:18:53.423
be there forever

0:18:54.179,0:18:57.360
and then all of a sudden all that was[br]taken away is not the way I thought like

0:18:57.036,0:18:57.135
would turn out

0:18:58.035,0:19:02.114
obviously I had lost a lot through two[br]divorces you know I'd lost basically

0:19:02.429,0:19:07.463
everything I had a loss . there were[br]after the two marriages people calling

0:19:07.769,0:19:11.490
me and saying hey bruce is the done this[br]with his hair now you don't look the

0:19:11.049,0:19:12.848
same and what he did with his nose

0:19:13.289,0:19:16.230
you've always been a great looking guy[br]and a lot of people are sitting at home

0:19:16.023,0:19:18.024
going what did he need to have his nose[br]fixed

0:19:18.024,0:19:22.073
I just didn't like the nose and I'm so .[br]my life I was a single guy and no other

0:19:22.289,0:19:25.352
responses going to let myself I said you[br]know what I do something different I was

0:19:25.919,0:19:30.090
shocked he did look like a different[br]person all of a sudden and i never knew

0:19:30.009,0:19:34.032
whether it was because of an accident[br]that i gave him such good looks

0:19:35.058,0:19:37.063
and

0:19:38.008,0:19:43.347
I just wish she hadn't done that I was a[br]little bit bewildered

0:19:43.419,0:19:47.230
I thought it was a pretty handsome guy I[br]think we all look at ourselves in the

0:19:47.023,0:19:50.023
mirror and find some features that we[br]don't like

0:19:51.003,0:19:57.006
in 1991 gender merry Chris kardashian[br]divorce say with four children after

0:19:57.006,0:20:01.095
fathering two more kids with Kris Jenner[br]has struggled to keep ties with the four

0:20:01.095,0:20:03.120
children from his previous marriages

0:20:04.002,0:20:08.025
when you go through a divorce there's[br]obviously it's not the same as if you

0:20:08.043,0:20:11.049
grew up with the kids every day in the[br]house and that's pretty much the

0:20:11.049,0:20:12.084
relationship that we have

0:20:12.084,0:20:15.147
you know I talked to him I see him here[br]and there but we're not you know as

0:20:16.047,0:20:18.102
tight as we would be if I was in the[br]house every day

0:20:19.002,0:20:23.070
I know him well from my childhood we get[br]together and as much as we can but I

0:20:23.007,0:20:25.083
probably know my step-brother love[br]better than one

0:20:26.046,0:20:29.067
I think he's very concerned with what[br]he's doing you know please call for lot

0:20:29.067,0:20:32.124
now and he's got two beautiful daughters[br]right now that he's just trying to reach

0:20:33.024,0:20:35.563
the sudden started

0:20:35.779,0:20:38.840
pol purrs away from his family

0:20:38.084,0:20:41.096
the celebrity status seems too

0:20:41.096,0:20:48.152
be very important to him I often wonder[br]what it would be like if if he hadn't

0:20:49.052,0:20:50.060
come in first

0:20:51.032,0:20:55.124
what he would have done perhaps he would[br]have coached college track team

0:20:57.038,0:21:00.317
maybe he would

0:21:00.659,0:21:03.659
still be close to the family

0:21:04.379,0:21:08.420
I'm sure he doesn't like the fact he's[br]been married three times

0:21:08.789,0:21:13.820
I just think that there are some things[br]that are painful to him and hopefully as

0:21:14.099,0:21:17.117
he gets older he can crack those things

0:21:17.279,0:21:22.320
Bruce doesn't look back Bruce is always[br]focused on the future and about how to

0:21:22.032,0:21:23.058
make his life better

0:21:23.058,0:21:26.267
Bruce's life now is like the Catholic[br]means a race car driver

0:21:27.479,0:21:31.487
he's a pilot he's a motivational speaker

0:21:31.559,0:21:35.606
chris has changed my life around she is[br]a phenomenal businesswoman the

0:21:36.029,0:21:38.057
infomercial world speaking business

0:21:38.309,0:21:41.820
she was directly responsible and you[br]know helping me and getting those things

0:21:41.082,0:21:43.110
going

0:21:44.001,0:21:47.040
in addition to his busy motivational[br]speaking business

0:21:47.049,0:21:52.083
Jenner's exercise equipment infomercials[br]have generated over 450 million dollars

0:21:52.083,0:21:53.114
in sales

0:21:54.014,0:21:58.088
although the decathlon champion is again[br]spinning gold it is a far cry from his

0:21:58.088,0:22:03.179
past Olympic glory always felt that[br]Bruce really had his life set out up

0:22:04.079,0:22:09.152
through montreal because he knew what he[br]wanted all of a sudden he is thrown into

0:22:10.052,0:22:14.096
the deep end of the celebrity pool that[br]was a whole culture shock to go from

0:22:14.096,0:22:20.189
being great in one area to being boffo[br]is a celebrity and it doesn't certainly

0:22:21.089,0:22:26.138
work that way because he turned his life[br]into one of a celebrity more people

0:22:27.038,0:22:30.077
probably remember or know him as a[br]celebrity and they have this vague

0:22:30.077,0:22:32.105
notion of what he did as an athlete

0:22:33.005,0:22:36.068
what most people know Bruce sense

0:22:36.068,0:22:41.093
Montreal is not who I like to remember[br]those being because that was just such a

0:22:41.093,0:22:42.122
fine achievement

0:22:43.022,0:22:49.100
those other things that he has done and[br]endeavor to do since then has made it

0:22:50.000,0:22:57.169
all a lot more cloudy when I die on the[br]news they will say Bruce Jenner 1976

0:22:57.169,0:22:59.270
olympic decathlon champion died today

0:22:59.027,0:23:04.066
no matter what ever done after that you[br]know what that's just fine with me

0:23:06.009,0:23:09.063
after Bruce Jenner won the gold medal in[br]Montreal

0:23:10.044,0:23:14.070
he walked out of olympic stadium leaving[br]behind his vaulting poles and the

0:23:14.007,0:23:18.069
Spartan life of self-denial is the[br]choice of the decathlete but after his

0:23:19.032,0:23:23.115
quarter century run toward celebrities[br]false light we can only wonder whether

0:23:24.015,0:23:28.424
we ever reached a goal to compare with[br]that moment 1976

0:23:28.559,0:23:32.594
he stood on top of the world[br]SportsCentury and Chris failed
