Kendall Jenner, the renowned model and reality television star, has a lineage steeped in athleticism, thanks to her Olympic gold medalist father, Caitlyn Jenner. While Jenner has made her own mark in the world of modeling, she has also showcased her athletic prowess through her passion for horseback riding. In a candid moment on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Jenner confessed, “I’m literally built as an athlete. Every blood test I’ve ever done has said I’m, like, over the normal limit of athleticness.”
When questioned by Andy Cohen about her alternative career path, Jenner revealed, “Honestly, I think I’d probably be in the Olympics or going to the Olympics for horseback riding.” Now, that dream is becoming a reality, albeit in a different capacity than she initially envisioned. This week, Jenner joined the illustrious ranks of celebrity supporters at the 2024 Olympics, alongside notable names like Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, and Ariana Grande.
On Thursday, at the women’s all-around gymnastics final, Jenner cheered on Team USA, radiating patriotism in a meticulously chosen outfit. She donned a patch-laden Ralph Lauren Polo zip-up, destined for the flag-bearers at the closing ceremony, layered over a cropped white tee and complemented by a matching baseball cap. The remainder of her ensemble exuded quintessential Jenner style, featuring straight-legged blue jeans, a black leather shoulder bag, and black loafers from The Row.
No matter the avenue, Kendall Jenner embraces the Olympics in her own unique way. This article was originally published on Vogue.com.
