Why is there no mention of Michael Phelps in the latest TIME Magazine issue?

Question

There's nothing about him except for one sentence about his 12,000-calorie diet. 0_o

Answer 1

Not sure exactly what you mean by "latest" issue of time, but weekly magazine come out 1-2 weeks in advance.  They come out a week in advance by date.  Meaning the last newsweek that I got last week is dated August 25th but they put it together the week before that so depending on when an event occured it may be 1-2 week behind, however, he is on the cover of the August 25th Newsweek w/ all his medals, but my August 25th People mag only has a picture in the Olympics section of his and the team after winning the 4x100 so they obviously go to press before Newsweek.  

So likely whatever you're looking for will either be in the August 25/6/7 edition of Time (not sure what day it comes out on bc I haven't subscribed to Time in awhile) which you wouldnt' have seen yet if you don't have a subscription or it will be in their next edition like the Sept 1/2/3 edition

Answer 2

Everybody already knows about him.
