Need help with Trivia Question

[Guest]

Hello again,

A friend asked me a sports trivia question recently, but wasn't kind
enough to give me the ANSWER.

So, I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to the following
question:

"What 5 sporting events made the covers of both Time and Sports
Illustrated the week that they happened?"

Thanks!

Clay

I'm gonna make an educated guess:

1. World Series champ
2. Super Bowl
3. Wimbledon
4. World Cup
5. NBA Finals

I`m assuming it should be a little more precise so let me guess at a few:

The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team?
Mark McGuire (either breaking Maris` record or hitting 70)?
Bonds` 73 ?
Last triple crown winner?
The attacks at the Munich Olympics?
Dunno

Nadia Comaneci not only was one of the 5 to make it to both Time and
Sports Illustrated magazines at the same time, she is the only to make
it to Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated magazine at the same time!
