Caitlyn Jenner put back on her 1976 Olympic gold medal for SI cover

Caitlyn Jenner is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, wearing the Olympic gold medal won in the decathlon in 1976.

An in-depth interview and documentary accompanying the piece takes one through the Games and Jenner’s life since that time. Jenner says that the medal has never been on display, residing sometimes in a drawer and others in a safe.

“The medal,” Jenner told SI. “It was great for show-and-tell.”

In the story and accompanying documentary, Jenner talks about her path to those 1976 Games and to her high-profile life as a transgender woman and part of the Kardashian empire.
