Caitlyn Jenner is a vision in gold on the new cover of Sports Illustrated, showing off her Olympic medal in a shiny sequin jumpsuit. And it wasn't just about an Olympic medal, it was about an Olympic medal in the most American of years," says Soloway, referencing that year's American bicentennial. "You think about the gold medal and flag and running shorts, and you have that image in your heart. The cover photo also marks the first time Jenner has publicly worn the medal since she stood on the podium in Montreal 40 years ago. In the interview Jenner also speaks about how her life now, and what she is doing as a transgender advocate, is so much more important than winning that medal.
