Beijing’s hot javelin thrower is back

Pollution, terrible food and Spanish racists may have stolen the headlines at the Olympic Games, but one lady certainly stole our hearts: Javelin star and Miss Paraguay contestant Leryn Franco.

Aside from the rumour that she was at it with Novak Djokovic, the sexiest thing to ever throw a spear has been notably absent from the radar since the summer. Machochip, however, have uncovered a video that conveys her ability to wear a bikini while having ice cold water poured all over her. Good work, amigos.

More newly discovered pics of Leryn after the jump…

If you thought Allison Stokke and Melanie Adams were the hottest things to ever participate in the pole vault, then you’d probably be right. Following closely behind, however, is German lovely Lisa Ryzih, who missed out on Olympic qualification by a mere ten centimetres. While her peers were jumping over really high things in Beijing, she was comforted by 19-year-old boyf Neven Subotić, currently plying his trade at Borussia Dortmund.

Say what you like about God, but when it comes to balancing good and bad things he/she does a pretty decent job. For all the luxury we enjoy in Blighty, when it comes to hot female javelin throwers, we’re not doing too well (here’s proof). Likewise, while almost half of the population of Paraguay has to spend their every waking moment battling against crippling poverty, they get to send tremendous specimens like Leryn Franco to Beijing to throw javelins on their behalf.

Born in 1982, the slender young athlete isn’t just a strong right arm either, she’s also a very pretty face. She came second in Miss Paraguay in 2006 (losing out to this woman).

Photos of her not just lounging on a sofa after the jump…
