The third entry into the Untold documentary series touches on the story of Caitlyn Jenner as she trained relentlessly to secure a decathlon gold medal in the 1976 Olympics. However, her time spent practising acted as a deterrent against an inner identity struggle, that would eventually come full circle in 2015 when she publicly transitioned from Bruce to Caitlyn.
