A magazine cover styled like Sports Illustrated, dated December 23, 2024 (Volume 136, No. 25), headlined 'ATHLETE of the YEAR'. The cover depicts a woman resembling Sophie Cunningham wearing an Indiana Fever #8 jersey and pointing toward the camera, accompanied by the cover lines 'Relentless. Fearless. Unapologetic. The heart of a new era in women's sports.' The Sports Illustrated masthead and a 'Lilly' sponsor logo are visible. The operator's face-recognition tool tentatively identified the depicted person as Felicitas Rauch, which differs from the name printed on the cover; reviewer should reconcile this with the on-cover label.
