Caitlyn Jenner ready to display gold medal again
Caitlyn Jenner is ready to dust off the gold medal she won as Bruce in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
The victory led to Jenner being declared ‘The World’s Greatest Athlete,’ scores of endorsement deals and being featured on a box of Wheaties breakfast cereal.
But the parent of six and stepparent of four reveals in a new video that she put away her gold medal long ago and currently keeps it in the bottom drawer of a vanity where she keeps her make-up.
Why has Jenner, 65, been hiding it what she calls ‘my most-prized possession’ for so long?
‘I’m so proud of it,’ she says in a new WhoSay video. ‘However, I never wanted my kids to feel like they had to have a gold medal in order to be considered a success. I didn’t want them to constantly compare their own achievements to my time in the Olympics, so I haven’t displayed my medal.’
But that is about to change.
‘Now that all of my kids are adults and out of the house, I think it might be time to put this baby up,’ Jenner says.

That’s nice. I can’t imagine hiding something that precious to themselves.
