Leryn Franco just finished competing at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. And she certainly won’t be forgotten anytime soon by those who saw her.

Franco is a beautiful javelin thrower who competes for Paraguay in international competitions.

She is more known for her beauty than her athletic skill, and she has done little to change that since bursting onto the scene as an Internet sensation back in 2008 at the Beijing Summer Olympics.

Let’s take a hard look at some of her more flattering shots and talk about some things she has done in her short but glamorous career. 

Bares It All

Franco obviously has no problem with her body and wore very little for this photo shoot.

She has an incredible body which definitely helps her in her javelin throwing.

Now the whole world gets to see. 

Fantasy Uniform

I bet everyone wishes this was Leryn's uniform. 

I'm not sure how much distance she could get with those heels on, though. 

Fortunately for her fans, she probably spends more time modeling than actually competing. 

Paraguay

Franco is from Paraguay and that is a beautiful, somewhat tropical country in South America.

In this shot she appears to be drying off after taking a dip in some exotic location which could even be her hometown for all we know.

Tough Luck

Leryn hasn't found too much success or garnered too many awards for her on-the-field work.

Her highest placement in a major tournament is second in the South American Championships in 2011 and third in the 2007 version of that same tournament.

Hopefully she does better in the 2012 Olympics.

Future Plans

Leryn will be competing in the 2012 London Olympics and should continue to further her athletic career with her modeling one.

She appeared in the 2011 SI Swimsuit Edition and will only continue to get more opportunities to show off her beauty as she continues to get noticed in international competition.
