Worst moment of the Olympics

Unfortunately Leryn Franco's run at gold came to an end in yesterday's women's javelin semi-finals, in which she placed second-to-last.

It was a good run and she did provide some "excitement" for Olympics fans across the world.

Lolo who?

Olympic Tail Report: Leryn Franco

Ms. Franco, a javelin thrower [fighting back phallic-imagery joke] from Paraguay, caught the eye of many a male viewer during the Opening Ceremony. So much so, that Fourth Place Medal ran a post about her:
During Fourth-Place Medal's award-winning* live blog coverage of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, one question haunted our panel and reading audience, and it wasn't whether the fireworks were real or how they managed to do that cool display with the blocks. No, we didn't care about that stuff. All we wanted to know was, who was that gorgeous woman who marched into Beijing National Stadium with the Paraguayan delegation?

After an exhaustive investigation by 4PM's crack investigative team, the mystery woman has been identified as Leryn Franco, an athlete with the Paraguayan delegation. Ms. Franco represents her native country in the javelin throw.

Leryn has a burgeoning modeling career to fall back on, should she not find the fame and glory that so many javelin throwers in the past have enjoyed.

A potential ex-Mrs. D.e.f.i.?
