you're missing the point. its not about just slapping an Olympian on the cover. like somebody already said, Lolo is the "feel good" comeback story.
I completely understand why the choice was LoLo. What I was disputing was the claim she somehow transcended her sport. That's simply not so.

This. Its great to see her on the cover but who thinks she's so transcended her sport that she would be on the cover of Time in a non Olympic year?
An Olympian is on the cover because the Olympics begin this week.
There are individuals who transcend their sports but LoLo isn't one of them. She's not a Jordan or a Manning or a Shaq. I appreciate everything about this woman, from her choice of universities to her personal choices, but let's not go over board here.
