Leryn Franco represented Paraguay in the javelin throw at the 2008 Beijing games

She didn’t exactly win gold – in fact she didn’t make it to the finals, not even the semi-finals. She came second last, in 51st position.

Despite her complete lack of championship form – she seems to be attracting a lot of media attention. I wonder why?
