Guinness World Records acknowledged the record in a blog post and this is not even Jenner’s first record. In the the mid-1970s, Jenner set the world record for most points in a decathlon (male) on three occasions, the third a time at the Montreal Olympics in 1976 with a final score of 8,618.
Bruce Jenner is a Gold medal Olympian and patriarch of the very controversial Kardashian clan. He started his transition late last year because he felt like a woman trapped in a man’s body. He started by keeping long hair, manicuring his nails and taking hormones to cause feminine changes. He hasn’t made a decision on genital change.
