The London 2012 Olympics are hotting up, thanks to Leryn Franco and a potentially explosive mix of sex, sponsorship and social media.
Leryn has caused an upsurge of interest in women's javelin throwing. This is partly because she is a fine athlete, but mostly because she is a former runner-up in the Miss Paraguay pageant, a lingerie model and regularly voted into the world's top 10 most beautiful women athletes.
There are also quite a few pictures of Ms Franco wearing not much at all on the internet, including those sent out via her official Twitter account.

The stunning Paraguayan javelin thrower became an overnight sensation back at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, but it was not down to her talent with the javelin. Leryn’s beauty sent men across the world into a frenzy in an attempt to find out who this stunning athlete was.
Although Leryn did not make it to the finals in Beijing, she did manage to throw her Personal Best, and she is set to do it all over again as she prepares to make waves at the London 2012 Olympics.
Leryn has been declared number one in The 100 Hottest Athletes Of All Time by Bleacher Report and has featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. However, Leryn is keen to improve on her javelin and hopes to progress further at the London Olympics this year.
