Three American sensations will appear on this week's issue of Sports Illustrated. Katie Ledecky, the world record holder in the 400- and 800-meter freestyle, and Simone Biles, who won the all-around gold by the largest margin in Olympic gymnastics history, flank Michael Phelps.
The three won 15 medals at this year's Games, almost all of them gold. Phelps took home six medals, Ledecky five and Biles four.
A really cool cover. These three athletes, along with Jamaican Usain Bolt, have provided the biggest storylines in competition at this year's Olympics. It's the first SI cover treatment for Biles and Ledecky, both of whom are set up to be the biggest names for the United States when they're expected to compete again, at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
