Bruce Jenner may be best knows as the patriarch of the Kardashian clan, but he was one of the top American athletes a few decades ago. He won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics, a year after winning the gold in the Pan-American Games in Mexico City. In this 1980 photo, Jenner invites SI photographer John G. Zimmerman into his Malibu home. (John G. Zimmerman/SI)
