We all remember spearchucker Leryn Franco from her amazing Olympic performance sexy pictures. And now, via Hot Clicks, the word is that she’s inked a new deal with Nike for their clothing line.
When I first started writing this post, I was expecting to have a lot more information about this, but no: that’s really all the news that Hot Clicks had. But the rumor seems to have some veracity, as this story in Spanish from late last week seems to say the same thing. “Sensual atleta paraguaya Leryn Franco es el nuevo rostro de Nike” — I don’t speak Spanish, but that sounds like an ad campaign I can masturbate to.
Ah, the Olympic Games: that special quadrennial event that forges a new spirit of global unity through athletic compe– HOLY HELL LOOK AT THAT ASS. Ahem. As I was saying, the Olympics are an international event that introduces us to extremely sexy amateur athletes who may or may not garner acclaim for their skill in the arena.
Take, for example, Paraguay’s Leryn Franco. The javelin thrower (and runner-up in the Miss Paraguay and Miss Bikini Universe contests) finished 51st in Beijing this summer, yet she still became Yahoo’s most searched female Olympian. Because people were interested in learning more about the javelin event, no doubt.
After the Olympics, Franco returned to the spotlight when rumors swirled that she was at the U.S. Open to support alleged beau Novak Djokovic. Is it true? Are they an item? Who cares — it was a reason to look at her again.
Massive bruiser of a gallery, plus additional links, after the jump.
It’s been a while since we’ve checked in with our favorite Olympian, Argentine javelin thrower Leryn Franco. Some of the initial findings in August included photos from her calendar, but only now have extra shots from that photoshoot surfaced at pbase (via Hot Clicks). And by “only now” I mean “eight weeks ago.” Whatever. Do you wanna look at the sexy Latina athlete with the perfect ass or not?
After the jump, enjoy some truly astounding video of Leryn modeling a bikini and getting ice-cold water poured on her. And remember, she’s an Olymipc athlete, so please be respectful of the video, as it is most likely just some form of vigorous training we can’t understand. Sexy vigorous training.
Novak Djokovic is still playing at the U.S. Open, and in between matches he denied being involved with Leryn Franco. Dammit, make up your minds, people. I need to know whether I should break off my imaginary romance with Roselyn Sanchez.
The good news is that after having almost zero pictures of her two weeks ago, AFP and Getty Images paid for the rights to some more sexy pictures of Leryn. Nice work by them. And I gotta say, Novak Djokovic is way more low-key than I am. If I were rumored to be dating Leryn I’d buy billboards in LA and full-page ads in USA Today with pictures of her below the text, “I hit this.”
Apparently hastily translated news items on the Internet are true, because everyone’s favorite Olympian/model, Leryn Franco, is in New York to support new boyfriend Novak Djokovic at the U.S. Open.
While Franco didn’t win any medals at the Olympics, she was a runner-up in the 2006 Miss Paraguay pageant and the Miss Bikini Universe contest. And she was sitting in the stands at Ashe Stadium yesterday cheering as Djokovic beat France’s Arnaud Clement in straight sets.
I don’t know. I don’t think this proves anything. It could just be a coincidence. Maybe she was just passing through New York on her way back to Paraguay from China and felt like some tennis. It’s damn near impossible to get a direct flight from Beijing to Asuncion, you know. … I SAID IT PROVES NOTHING!!! To hell with ALL of you! *runs away sobbing*
Matthew Syed, former Olympic table tennis player and current contributor to the UK's The Times, produced an enlightening article on sex in the Olympic Village that mixes his personal experience with the vibe of these Olympic Games. And that vibe is: people be humpin'.
And then there were the female athletes - literally thousands of them - strutting, shimmying, sashaying and jogging around the village, clad in Lycra and exposing yard upon yard of shiny, toned, rippling and unimaginably exotic flesh. Women from all the countries of the world: muscular, virile, athletic and oozing oestrogen. I spent so much time in a state of lust that I could have passed out.
Sounds nice. Any particularly good anecdotes?
There is a famous story from Seoul in 1988 that there were so many used condoms on the roof terrace of the British team's residential block the night after the swimming concluded that the British Olympic Association sent out an edict banning outdoor sex.
He ends up hypothesizing that higher levels of testosterone and the release from Spartan training regimens makes everybody eager to hold hands and do whatever it is mommy and daddy do, which makes the last half of the article pretty boring, actually. I had to add these photos of everyone's favorite Paraguyan javelin thrower, Leryn Franco, just to make it interesting. If that's a problem with anyone, please send your complaints to anyone but me.
