Kendall Jenner could be about to follow in the footsteps of her famous parents by competing in the Olympic Games.
Caitlyn Jenner, who was Bruce Jenner before she announced she was transitioning five years ago, made it to the podium in the same legendary sporting event.
In 1976, she beat the competition at the Montreal Olympics, winning gold in the decathlon event.
Now, supermodel Kendall has revealed she harbours the same dream of heading to the Olympics, having devoted the last few months to her lifelong passion of horse-riding.
While Kendall’s hectic modelling schedule doesn’t afford much time for horse-riding, the coronavirus lockdown offered the chance to revisit her childhood hobby.

Speaking to Daily Record, the 24-year-old said: “I would love to be in the Olympics riding horses. I have two horses but I don’t get to ride as much as I used to, unfortunately.
“I’ve been able to go a bit during quarantine. If I could, I’d love to go the Olympics and keep that going in my family. My dad would be very proud.”
Kendall added that optimism and fresh air have been helping her battle her anxiety throughout the lockdown, saying: “Being optimistic is important. Any chance that I can get to speak to someone always makes me feel a little bit better.

“Getting outside also makes me feel a lot better.”
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star stables her horses Belle and Dylan at a show barn called Huntover, in Bell Canyon, California.
Located just five miles from where she grew up in Calabasas, it makes it easier for Kendall to saddle up when she has time on her hands.

In the past, Kendall revealed she turned to horse-riding as a distraction when she found herself struggling to make friends in school.
Speaking on Zaza World Radio on Apple Music’s Beats 1, she recalled: “I was sitting in my room a lot of days crying because Kylie had so many friends, and I didn’t know what to do, and it’s gonna make me emotional right now.
“I would just sit with my horses and I’d go ride all day. I’m not kidding. I’d ride from 8am to 8pm. I would ride all my trainer horses because I had nothing better to do during the summer.”
