This is the first time she's been photographed with the medal in 40 years.

In the issue of Sports Illustrated, Jenner says she keeps the medal in a bathroom drawer with her nail polish, of all places.

She says she thinks her current role as a transgender advocate is much more important than her athletic glory.
