Speaking about why she posted with the medal after 40 years she says “It’s a picture that brings attention to this issue. That’s the important thing. That’s why I wore the medal.”
In addition to the magazine cover story by Senior Writer Tim Layden, SI Films has premiered a 22-minute film online looking back at Jenner’s win and where she is now.
According to Caitlyn, “her work now as a transgender advocate has more meaning for her than athletic glory.”
