Bruce Jenner's Heading To The Olympics!

Oh man, we bet he’s PUMPED to be heading back to the Olympics… even though he’s not competing!
He’s covering it! For E!!
We wonder if most people who watch his reality show even know that Bruce Jenner won a gold medal in 1976 and has been called “The World’s Greatest Athlete.”
His role at the Olympics this time around, starting Friday, though, is to interview athletes and celebrities for the channel.
Here’s what he had to say:

“I’ve been preparing all my life for this. What I went through in 1976, it’s the same today: It’s about all the pressure that you feel, the anxiety, the family, and everything that surrounds the Games, and then getting there knowing this is your big chance and you’re able to come through. It’s such a satisfying thing.”

Of course he’s joking — he said all this with a laugh!
Apparently he doesn’t even know where his medal is, too:

“I don’t really know. It’s somewhere in my house. It’s not in a house somewhere in the Soviet Union, I do know that. It’s funny. I don’t have anything Olympic in our house — no pictures, none of that stuff. Consciously I do that. With 10 children, I don’t want to hold that over their heads. ‘Look at this. Look what daddy did. You have to live up to something like that.’ I just want my kids to find their thing in life and do the best they can in whatever they want to do… As soon as the last kid leaves the house, we’re painting this house red, white, and blue, baby. It is gonna be a monument.”

We love Bruce. He gives that house such a grounded feel.
Good luck in London, Bruce! We’re sure you’ll do fine!
We can’t wait to see what you have in store!
