On August 16, 1954, Sports Illustrated published its first-ever magazine. The new publication led with an article called the “The Golden Age is Now.” Sixty-two years later, Sports Illustrated is one of the most famous sports publications in the world. And, now it has published perhaps its most golden magazine cover yet. The cover photo of the August 22 edition of the magazine features U.S. Olympic gold medal swimmers Katie Ledecky and Michael Phelps, along with gold-medal gymnast Simone Biles. The cover reads: “The Greatests.” Together, the three athletes won 16 Olympic medals in Rio de Janeiro. Thirteen of them are gold. Shortly after the magazine released its “Greatests” cover this week, it became a trending topic on social media.
