We still have over three years until the next Olympics rolls around, in Rio, Brazil in 2016 but there is already talk of who will be the hottest athlete to compete there. Many are claiming that Leryn Franco will keep hold of her crown, after being considered the hottest athlete at the London 2012 Olympics.
Leryn Franco is one of the sexiest athletes on the planet
However, there is a young pretender to the crown coming through the ranks, who could well take that title from Leryn Franco. The up and coming star is Michelle Jenneke, who is expected to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympics in the 100 meter hurdles.
You may be wondering why Michelle was not considered to be the sexiest athlete at the London 2012 Olympics. Well, that is because the 19-year-old Australian was competing in the 2012 IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona that year, but is now expected to step up.

Michelle Jenneke was one of four athletes to appear in the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and it is easy to see why she is considered a contender to Leryn Franco's crown. Not only is she beautiful but she is also competitive in her field, something that Leryn seems to lack.
Remember the name Michelle Jenneke, as she will be a huge global star by the end of the Rio 2016 Olympics.
