Watched part of it. When Jenner is seen stretching, I was surprised to see him, while standing, raise first one knee and then the other knee to the height of his chin - wouldn’t think the average runner couldn’t do that and this ability would be limited to gymnasts.

Unfortunately, Bruce Jenner did NOT win the gold medal for the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics.

Bruce identifies as a woman. As a self-identified woman, "she" would be ineligible to compete in the decathlon. "She" should have competed in the pentathlon. I'm sure "she" would have won; however, "she" did not compete in that event.

Since "she" participated in the decathlon event, despite the restriction on her self-identified gender, she would be disqualified for illegal participation.

Therefore, no medal. It should be stripped from "her", and awarded to the next highest finisher.

Alternately, "she" could just fess up that "she's" a man!
