After making waves with her Vanity Fair cover, Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly set to pose nude on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

The 66-year-old will wear “nothing but an American flag and her Olympic medal” to mark 40 years since she won the Olympic gold for the decathlon in Montreal in 1976, according to US Weekly. A source told the publication Jenner is “excited” about the summer cover.

The cover will follow Jenner’s 2015 July Vanity Fair cover where she publicly debuted her female identity and revealed her name to be Caitlyn. The tell-all interview by Buzz Bissinger - who is currently writing a biography of the Olympian - and photoshoot by esteemed photographer Annie Leibowitz saw the magazine’s sales rocket. In time with releasing the cover she also joined Twitter and became the fastest Twitter account to reach one million followers.

Since coming out as transgender, Jenner has received an ESPY award for bravery as well as a Glamour woman of the year award for “Transgender Champion”. She has also fronted an E! reality show I am Cait, while still making appearances on Keeping up with the Kardashians along with her ex-wife Kris Jenner, children Kendall and Kylie Jenner and stepchildren Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian.
