SI Olympics Cover Gallery

There have been 11 Summer Olympics since SI's birth in 1954 and the magazine has been at each one -- even Moscow's 1980 Games, which were boycotted by the U.S. In a special gallery, see the evolution of our take on Olympic grandeur, from the early days, which featured no live action shots, to the most recent foldout covers.
