We’re almost certain you haven’t tapped out on gorgeous Olympians just yet. Meet Leryn Franco. She’s a 26 year old Paraguayan javelin thrower with two Olympic competitions under her lovely belt. She’s also a former runner-up in the Miss Paraguay pageant as well as a runner-up in the Miss Bikini Universe pageant. Basically, she has quite the modeling resume to go along with her athletic prowess.
She’s currently one of seven Paraguayan athletes competing in this year’s Olympics and she’s scheduled to participate Saturday August 16. Of course, we’re glad we actually get to see a hottie we write about compete in the Olympics because it makes it that much easier to read the countless headlines that note something about the games. Hey, now we have a new name to watch out for and hopefully a future story to write. In the meantime, we’ll showcase some pics of la señorita Leryn Franco.
