Sports
Sport pertains to any form of competitive physical activity or game that aims to use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators. Sports can, through casual or organized participation, improve participants' physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a ''match'') is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a ...

The ''Sports Illustrated'' Swimsuit Issue is published annually by American magazine ''Sports Illustrated'' and features female fashion models, celebrities and athletes wearing swimwear in various locales around the world. The highly coveted cover photograph has been considered as the arbiter of supermodel succession. The issue carries advertising that, in 2005, amounted to in value.

Sport (US Magazine)
''Sport'' was an American sports magazine. Launched in September 1946 by New York-based publisher Macfadden Publications, ''Sport'' pioneered the generous use of color photography – it carried eight full-color plates in its first edition. ''Sport'' predated the launch of ''Sports Illustrated'' by eight years, and is remembered for bringing several editorial innovations to the genre, as well as creating, in 1948, the ''Sport'' Magazine Award, given initially to the outstanding player in 11 major sports. In 1955 the magazine instituted an award honoring the outstanding player in baseball's World Series (Johnny Podres of the Brooklyn Dodgers was the inaugural winner); it was later expanded to include the pre-eminent post-season performers in the other three major North American team sports. What made ''Sport'' the most distinctive from ''Sports Illustrated'', however, was that it was a monthly magazine as opposed to SI's weekly distribution. ''Sport'' was published continually ...
