Dubbed the "World's Greatest Athlete" in 1976, Jenner became an American sports hero and household name following his world and Olympic record-setting performance in which he scored 8,618 points. The gold medalist came to Columbia for two days this past week to renresent Blue Cross/Blue Shield of South Carolina. and to promote the organization's eighth annual Carolina Marathon. WHILE HERE, he participated in a whirlwind of events, making personal appearances throughout the city. He gave a talk to students, faculty and guests,led a runner's symposium, fired the starting gun to begin the marathon and ran in the race's five-kilometer Fun Run. Addressing USC students in the Russell House Ballroom, Jenner spoke about his Olympic performances in 1972 and 1976. He talked of goals and making the commitment to win the cold medal, and how students could aoolv this process to their own lives to achieve success. Structuring his life much like the eventful decathalon, he said he had been able to maintain his superstar status better than previous Olympic heros because of his continuing involvement in numerous activities. HE RECENTLY signed an exclusive contract with NBC-TV Sports, and continues to support organizations like Special Olympics. He and his wife, Linda, are co-chairmen for the American Diabetes Association, and help in two major fundraisers for Multiple Sclerosis. In addition to being a father and a former Olympic champion, Jenner finds time to be an actor, author, charity and advertisement spokesman, TV announcer and producer. It's been eight years since his gold medal performance, and in that time he said his priorities have changed. He said his goals today are to be a good father to his four children, and continue a successful business career in television. ?... .. <0 Sn Jenner, page 18 apply for Graduation I Pappy S Bring i v incc lUUafc.
