Caitlyn Jenner to celebrate Olympic anniversary with nude Sports Illustrated cover
Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly ready to bare it all as US Weekly reported Wednesday that the former Olympian would be gracing the cover of a summer issue of Sports Illustrated in recognition of her gold medal decathlon performance at the 1976 Games.

Jenner revealed that she (then known as Bruce) was transgender in an April 2015 interview with Diane Sawyer on “20/20†and was reintroduced to the world as Caitlyn on the cover of Vanity Fair in June.

This will not be Jenner’s first racy photo shoot, however, having graced the cover of a 1982 Playgirl magazine with then-wife Linda Thompson.
Representatives for Jenner and Sports Illustrated did not respond to requests for comment Thursday morning.
