Olympic Stadium, 1976
Bruce Jenner waves the U.S. flag.
After Jenner won the 1976 Olympic decathlon, a fan ran onto the track and handed him a small American flag. Not knowing what to do with it, Jenner waved it, starting a ritual that is now choreographed worldwide. If you agree with Jenner that the routine has grown a little over the top, be thankful that at least there were no Kardashians involved.
THE WAVE
It's finally settled. We know where the wave first started. In Oakland ... and Seattle.
