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.

Santa Cruz wants to join Robinho at Manchester City

Back in August it appeared almost certain that after an incredible debut season in England where he scored nineteen league goals, Roque Santa Cruz would leave Blackburn for either Arsenal, Manchester City or Manchester United.

However, ten days before the transfer window slammed shut, the Paraguayan ended all speculation about his future by signing a new four-year deal with Blackburn, announcing that he felt he owed the club for helping him get his career back on track:

“It is important that when the club has done something good for you, that you do something good for the club. I signed a contract because I’m sure it is the right choice.”

All those cynics who said that there was no loyalty left in football were silenced once and for all. Or so it seemed. Imagine The Spoiler’s surprise this morning when Santa Cruz declared:

Her personal best is 55.38 metres…

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).
