Olympic Model Leryn Franco Is Back In Training

Sadly, Paraguayan javelin hurler Leryn Franco did not bring home gold at the Beijing Olympics this year. Fortunately, she still has the other career to fall back on—international superbabe. Since she doesn't have a lot on her plate sports-wise for the next three-and-a-half years or so, she's gone right back to showcasing her other talents—and maybe a few other things—on the runway. Don't worry—it's one of those fashion shows where the designers aren't really fanatics about covering people in "clothes." Not a bad way to pass the time until 2012.

Leryn Franco Shows Why Hot Olympians Make Us Sweat

We've obviously got a serious case of Olympic fever around here, which is why we regret not being able to fit every single Olympic hottie into the athletic supporting galleries we've been featuring lately: we simply wouldn't have time to post about anything else. Good thing the games will still be going on for a few more weeks, so we'll keep doing our best to introduce you to even more gold medal babes as we find them. Today, for example, we'd like you to meet Leryn Franco, a javelin hurler from Paraguay who pays for her training with a second career as a bikini model. Which isn't as crazy as it sounds: after all, flexible hours and good pay—plus a strong incentive to stay in shape—make modeling the perfect day job to help pay for all that training. And while you're waiting for your next track and field meet, you might as well make your incredibly hot body useful in the meantime.
