I didn't post about her initially, but I remember her rocketing up the Google Trends charts at the start of the Olympics. Anyways, Leryn Franco is a javelin thrower/pageant queen/model representing Paraguay in the Olympics.

And the reason she's so popular? Well, see the photos below:

... the Beijing Olympics the 26-year old Paraguayan became so much more to the American people; she became our javelin thrower/pageant queen/model with her own calendar. So, my fellow Americans, it is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you that our favorite Paraguayan athlete (sorry Jose Luis Chilavert) was eliminated from the Olympics this morning after failing to qualify for the javelin finals. Take all the time you need.Ms. Franco became the object of our attention after she was noticed by NBC cameras during the Parade of Nations at the Olympic Opening Ceremony...

shes caliente!!!

It's funny or actually messed up that the most female athletes that have gotten the most attention are the ones who are most attractive versus winning. Then again this isn't surprising and with that said yes, Leryn Franco is hot. 

I knew she didn't get to the finals, but didn't realize she finished 51st.

I wonder if her calendar sales skyrocketed since the Olympics.

Also, who buys swimsuit calendars in 2008?

What you read seems true Countessian, but the thing that seems weird is that things almost seem to be worse nowadays. Although maybe I'm just more aware of this.
