Reason to Watch the Javelin: Leryn Franco
Olympics August 12th. 2008, 9:00am
From the Economic Times: Leryn Franco, 26, a javelin thrower from Paraguay, is competing in her second Olympics at Beijing, thanks to her second career, modelling. ”Modelling is a way for me to continue with my sport, the hours are flexible, and you can earn good money through photographic modelling and the catwalk,” Franco said.
The javelin schedule here, in case you’re interested. Another photo from here best-selling (?) 2007 calendar after the jump.
Full gallery here.

Anyone with HBO been watching the Urbano Sexo (or whatever) stuff on OnDemand? They essentially follow hot chicks around Central/South American cities (watched Rio the other night) with lots of nudity.

Well, I’ve mentioned it to my boys, and they say their wives won’t let them go, so it looks as if it’s going to be a few select tbl members. I’m playing tennis tonight, and thinking about going shirtless. I don’t want to be the most pale guy in Brazil.

Roeth, your in. Anybody who watches shows about other countries can be our tour guide.

Seriously. I’ve got a real problem with dark complected, straight black hair, and evidently central and south americans fit that bill more times than not. Missouri just isn’t cutting it anymore. Somebody might have to send me the posts transcripts if I move there and don’t have internet access.

You guys may have already seen this, esp the Cleveland ppl here, but this is a pretty cool article on the nicknames the Chinese have for our bball team: http://www.cleveland.com/olympics/index.ssf/2008/08/boozer_earns_his_nickname.html
Boozer’s translates into ‘betrayal skull dude’ which is awesome!

I came here to comment that nothing is a good enough reason to watch any part of the Olympics, let alone javelin.
But I have been convinced.
