Now that Lindsey Vonn‘s quest for multiple gold medals is beginning to look doubtful, one thing is certain -- the Sports Illustrated cover jinx is still alive.

Don’t act like it’s some media-inspired phenomenon that only gets us through slow news days. Many athletes have been struck down by bad luck following their SI cover appearances; from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Ryan Leaf, the jinx knows no boundaries.
