Bruce [Now Caitlyn] Jenner on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2012

Little did he know when he married (now-ex) Kris Jenner on April 21, 1991, that he would be starring in a reality show about their life as a big ol' crazy modern family. Bruce has been featured on Keeping Up since it began in 2007 and has had to endure endless humiliation and drama created by stepkids Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, and his two kids with Kris, Kendall and Kylie. Skip forward to 2015 and Bruce announces... he has always been a woman dressing up a man and transitioned to a woman named Caitlyn Jenner.

After making appearances on TV shows like 30 Rock and 90210, Lochte starred in his own reality show chronicling his 2016 Olympic training, creating his fashion line and his love life. Sadly, it didn't get picked up for another season.

Kristi Yamaguchi at the 1992 Winter Olympics

Kristi Yamaguchi became the darling of the ice skating world and the 1992 Winter Olympics with her grace and athletic ability. Even though she had a slight bobble in her long program, she still snagged the gold in Albertville.

Each season on DWTS, there are one or two contestants who seem to be the favorites from the very beginning. Yamaguchi was not only the favorite to win the Mirror Ball trophy in season 6, she blew away the competition from the very first episode. Paired with pro Mark Ballas, the couple earned perfect scores for four of their dances (three alone in the finale!).

Summer Sanders at the 1992 Summer Olympics

Oh, Barcelona… seems like just yesterday we were rooting on our Team USA and star athletes like swimmer Summer Sanders. Sanders earned four medals in Barcelona, including gold medals in the 200-meter butterfly and 400-meter medley relay. She also managed to snag silver in the 200-meter individual medley and bronze in the 400-meter individual medley.

Before being called "Polly Perfect" by Sharon Osbourne on the 2010 season of Celebrity Apprentice, Summer had a much more interesting gig. She was tapped to host Skating with Celebrities in 2006—the painful American version of the U.K. hit Dancing on Ice. Try as they may, nothing could save this hot mess of a show. It lasted only seven episodes.

Shawn Johnson at the 2008 Summer Olympics

America had high hopes for Shawn Johnson in the 2008 Athens Summer Olympic Games. And she delivered! Though her teammate Nastia Liukin took the individual all-around title, she won the silver in the same category. Johnson also helped Team USA win the all-around team silver medal, and individually the pint-sized phenom won gold on the beam and silver on floor exercise. Not too shabby!

Shawn Johnson teamed up with pro Mark Ballas for the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. She charmed audiences with her mad dance skills and sparkling personality, yet she only bested Gilles Marini for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy by less than 1 percent of the votes! She, like Apolo Ohno, will returned to the show for the all-star season.

Lamar Odom at the 2004 Summer Olympics

Yes, there was life for Lamar before Khloe! Odom played for the Miami Heat at the time he was named a finalist for the 2004 men's basketball team for the Athens Games, but he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in July 2004 before traveling to Athens in August for the Olympics. Averaging 9.3 points per game, Odom, along with teammates like Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Allen Iverson, led the USA to a bronze medal.

Lamar and Khloe famously dated for only one month before tying the knot on September 27, 2009, in a lavish ceremony that was featured on E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians (remember that epic kiss after their I dos?). The pair became such a popular part of the show that the network decided to launch a spin-off called Khloe and Lamar (natch) that premiered on April 10, 2011. The couple tooka break from filming their show so that Lamar could focus on his basketball career. Sadly, the pair split up in 2013.

Jennie Finch at the 2004 Summer Olympics

Jennie Finch became a breakout star of the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics with her supermodel looks and fierce athleticism. Didn't hurt that her fastball could break the sound barrier. Finch led the USA women's softball team to a gold medal in Athens and a silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Fresh off her silver medal victory in Beijing, Finch joined the 2008 cast of Donald Trump's hit show The Celebrity Apprentice. Unfortunately for Finch, her tenacity on the softball field did not translate to the boardroom. She was the fourth candidate fired by Trump.

Evan Lysacek at the 2010 Winter Olympics

Evan Lysacek was a favorite in the men's skating long before the Vancouver Games of 2010. But his tall, dark, and handsome looks, powerful jumps, and graceful lines won over the judges and fans alike as he took home the gold for USA.

A gold in men's figure skating seems like a little bit of an unfair advantage on a dancing competition show, but Lysacek insisted it was very different. He and his Dancing partner Anna Trebunkskaya sambaed their way into the runner-up spot, being bested by Nicole Scherzinger and her partner Derek Hough.

Apolo Anton Ohno at the 2002 Winter Olympics

Apolo Ohno burst onto the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics scene at the age of 19 and wowed the world by winning the silver medal (after a nasty fall) in the 1000-meter short-track speed skating race and gold in the 1500-meter race. In the 2006 Torino Games he won gold in the 500-meter race and bronze in the 1000-meter matchup. In the Vancouver Games of 2010, he became the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympic athlete after winning another four medals in various races.

Apolo joined the ever-popular reality dance competition Dancing with the Stars in 2008 and was paired with pro Julianne Hough. Their athleticism and chemistry led the pair to the finals, where they were awarded the Mirror Ball trophy. Ohno liked it so much that he headed back to the dance floor in the Dancing With The Stars all-star season.
