Not only will Caitlyn Jenner be keeping her gold medal, thankyouverymuch, but her name could be changed in the record books.

Jenner won the gold medal for the decathlon during the 1976 Montreal Olympics and was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1986. She obviously won as Bruce (she didn’t announce her transition until April 2015 and revealed her new name earlier this week), but that doesn’t mean that’s how she has to be remembered in history.

“We admire Caitlyn Jenner’s courage and wish her all the best,” United States Olympic Committee spokesperson Patrick Sandusky tells Yahoo. “We would happily consider any athlete’s request to have his or her personal information updated in our records.”

Jenner has time to decide how she wants her name to be displayed. The U.S. Olympic Museum, which will be in Colorado Springs, Colorado, won’t open until 2018.
