Over the years, a number of notable athletes have posed for the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Shooting for the 2022 edition of the popular magazine is already underway. Perhaps we'll see another big-time athlete or two posing for the 2022 edition of the magazine.

One of the most-famous athletes to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is Anna Kournikova. The former tennis star was at the peak of her fame when she posed for the iconic magazine issue back in 2004.
