Leryn Franco Finishes Next To Last In The Javelin At Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

Being Hot Won't Make You A Good Olympian
8/19/08


I'm sure some of you remember the lovely Leryn Franco. She was the attractive Paraguayan picked up by NBC cameras during the Beijing Opening ceremonies. It took people a little while to figure out that she competes in the javelin, but it took people almost no time to figure out she has her own modeling calendar.

Anyway, there's not much debating her attractiveness, so how about we find out how she did in the javelin?

Uh, not so good.

As Fourth Place Medal informs us, Franco competed this morning and finished second-to-last in the qualifying round with a throw that was 12 meters short of her personal best. I don't know a lot about javelin, but I know that when you come in second to last, the only person worse than you probably comes from a country where javelins don't even exist. In other words, you suck.

But at least Franco made an impression on us and taught us all a valuable and important lesson: Don't be ugly.

Me thinketh she'll maketh more money raising javelins than throwing them.

She's a winner in my book.
