Bruce Jenner was famous way before he married Kris Kardashian Jenner and became Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe's stepdad.
Shocking, I know.
Back at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada (when Kourtney was but a wee babe in arms and his nuptuals to Kris weren't even close to being on the radar), he won a gold medal in the decathlon and set a world record that stood for almost 5 years. After his win, he was handed an American Flag which he proudly waved as he ran a victory lap. This iconic gesture has been repeated at every Olympic games since. He was hailed as an American hero and even earned the title, "World's Greatest Athlete". Jenner was featured on a Wheaties Box and became one of the company's first official spokespeople. He has appeared on television shows, written books, was a successful race car driver, owns a company that sells aircraft supplies, and was the business development vice president for a staffing industry software application. Jenner currently travels as a motivational speaker.
He accomplished most of this well before famous stepdaughter Kim was even born.
