August 20th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Miscellaneous Celebrities, Celebrity Muscles.Some of you have been asking for more Olympian posts so… here are some pictures of Leryn Franco, a Paraguayan athlete who specializes in the javelin throw. She is competing in the Beijing Olympics this year.

Now THAT is what I would call being in fantastic shape…
What do you all think?
First! wow!
3rd pic makeup .. horrible.
HER BODY IA AMAZING>
Its not so much of a GYM body, as it is an ACTIVE CHIC body.
She looks great!!
she’s in such good shape!
this post makes me happy.
my body sorta looks like this.
not so skinny, more muscles, but still quite lean.
please post american female athletes too! esp. swimmers, runners.
perfect!
i like her body, its very athletic and proportional. some of the athletes look just a bit too manly, so cheers to her for still look feminine and atheltic
Wow! She’s gorgeous and has a great body! Almost, if not completely, perfection.
How about a Nastia Liukin post?
I agree-Wow!
She looks great.
My thighs go out a little in the upper inside thigh region like hers do, and I figured it was muscle because my boyfriend is an athlete and he has the same muscle buldge on the inside of his upper thighs (and he has very low body fat), but she confirmed it’s muscle.
Unfortunetly, in pants, that little muscle inside your thighs makes you look heavier. In shorts, you can tell it’s muscle and not fat though.
not sure about the last two outfits..hmm! she’s ok.. weird face but ok
now she is really curvy and fit
i WANT that body too!
Amazing body. Her makeup is terrible though.
great abs
i’d love to see the runners i love their bodies
Fabulous body - beak nose though.
cool but can you post some gymnasts like Alicia Sacramone or Nastia Liukin??
WOW! She looks like a Victoria’s Secret model!
Can someone tell me why her abs are so rippled in the first pic and not in the 2nd and 3rd?
OMG I so want her body
She also finished 2nd to last.
Her body wasn’t strong enough. Either you go all out or you go home. Seems to me she is more interested in looking good than winning.
if it weren’t for the plastic chest, what kind of olympian has breast augmentation?
she has a fabulous body, powerfull yet soft…inspirational
wow! she is pretty inspiring to go workout right now haha! i really want to see a muna lee post
She also FINISHED 2nd TO LAST
She’s not a true olympic athlete. It would seem to me she isn’t strong enough. Google who came in first.
By the way, people should be giving attention to the winner of the javelin, not her - this is sexist, caring more about the looks of female athletes than their ability.
Shame.
Her stomach isn’t rippled in pic 2 and 3 because it’s just half. And spray tan, makeup, has something to do with it. She and Holly from Girls Next Door must go to the same plastic surgeon. They have identical faces in Pic 3!
Oh my word! That’s what you call a fit body. perfect proportions. Beautiful legs.
Damn that is all I have to say…must be easier to be in such awesome shape if its your career.
GREAT body! Less make up please…she’s pretty without it.
she looks manish.
She looks awesome.
perfection……………
She’s got an amazing body.. but what on earth is she wearing… IN ALL THE PICTURES?
wow. perfect body.
I want those shoes in pic 2!!
i wonder what size she is she looks tall maybe a 2 or 4 (US)
@christinaberry…
everyone carries a little water weight from time to time… she may have eaten a little more salt during the time when the 2nd pic was taken. doesn’t mean anything really. peoples’ bodies fluctuate slightly everyday.
who is this woman? I’m not a big fan of her face, but wow–great bod!
Great body!!!! That is what I call athletic!!!! She has a better body than most hollywood starlets. I do prefer this look to the skeleton craze for sure!!!
put up nastia loukin and shawn johnson please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PERFECT!
PERFECT!
PERFECT!
wow Lilly. . . quite a self complimenter arn’t we? “my body sorta looks like this” um I kinda doubt it. . . are you an olympic athlete. . . sports model or such. . . give me a break.
When I think of javelin throwers, I think of women gladiator-type bodies. I don’t think of this. Wow. Maybe that’s why Naomi Campbell keeps throwing things?
Wow there are some jealous people (Silly Lilly). I’m with Lily 1. My body looks like this too. you don’t have to be an olympic athlete or sports model to look like this. It’s called diet and exercise.
Wonderful body, toned, strong, and slim.
Could you do a post about Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh?
Also aside from diet and excercise…genetics, good fortune and self esteem.
wooooooooooowwwwwwww
but needs a waist
She has a nice body. I looked her up on the Olympics website. Since I am into numbers especially female stats, they reveal the following.
Height(cm/ft in): 174cm / 5′9″
Weight(kg/lbs): 54 kg / 119 lbs
Good thing about the website is that they reveal the height and weight of most of the athletes.
Too bad the measurements are not disclosed.
Not usually a fan of the muscley look, but she looks fantastic. Very fit, healthy and strong! Her face is a tad masculine though. I think it’s the wide jaw. I won’t hold that against her though
The red lipstick frightens me, but the 2nd pic is totally hot! YOWZA…all I want to know now is, Why isn’t this post inspiring enough to make me put down the cookie dough ice cream? SIGH.
hey i care about ability….what is the point of going to the olympics if not to win?
She’s great and all, but what about Natalie Coughlin? Jennie Finch? Lolo Jones? Heather Mitts? They have awesome bodies and they aren’t models.
Wow, you’d think her arms would be bigger since she throws the javelin.
so what lily said that alot of people comment on having similar body types to all ranges don’t get annoyed
and yeah i believe other people look this muscular or as thin as some starlets
anyway she has a strong body type
i also think most people who look up - the skinny website
are weight conscious so in at least average shape at the least- and i would think pretty fit or thin
she looks amazing
Alyssa this website is about how people look if you want sports recaps then go to sports website. And i think qualifying for the Olympics is a great accomplishment and makes someone a true athlete.
Wow! Now that’s a physique.
Ok, 5′9″ and 119 is SKINNY! I think this chick is more interested in modeling than athletics ….
So jealous…. If I could have the body of any woman I think it’d be hers!
Please do a Nastia post!!!!
She has one of the best bodies i’ve ever seen!
Her thighs and abs are amazing!
barney i love stats as well
she looks 5′9″ 119 thats a bmi of 17.6
a great weight it may be light but it looks good!
I second request for Nastia pics
She should just stick to modelling instead of wasting her the money of paraguay in sending her to the olympics only to come second to last. I can’t fault her body, she should call Victoria’s Secret.
I want to see some of the sprinters and runners!
She looks fit, but not quite as much as some of the other athletes do.
And like others have said, the outfits are weird…it looks like she’s trying too hard. I/d rather see them in action.
I correct myself, I just checked yahoo and apparantly she paid to attend the olympics herself with money from modelling. Oh well…
hi, um, that’s why i said “sorta!” lol!! i’ve never provoked controversy here before! it’s kind of fun.
ok, not that anyone probably really cares, but…i’m in my late 20’s, do workout 5-6x/week, have done so for years, have a personal trainer, and follow a vegan diet (with the important caveat that I occasionally eat fish…so not a “true” vegan). BUT, it’s “sorta” for sure; my BMI is def. higher and my abs are only that defined when I am being very strict about carbs/alcohol. I’m 5′10″ though and sort of shaped like this, so, yeah, I resemble this figure a lot more than either skeletons or “curvy” girls on the site.
My comment was because I was really excited to see someone athletic rather than too big or too skinny that I could actually relate to.
the end…
Girls with muscles do not look good at all….
Epitome of PERFECT body! GOOD FOR HER!
i never knew you could pay to go to the olympics (i know you need to qualify)
but i always assumed the country sent you
goes to show never assume anything….
OMG!! PERFECTION… that actually makes me want to watch the javelin throw… wow… this is what i mean when i say thin, but strong and toned… wwwwwwoooooowwwwwwwww!!!
I can see that the Olympics are very popular on this website. I also wish to see pictures of certain athletes such as Nastia Liukin. She is 5′3″ and 99 pounds. When she wears her gym outfit and performs at times she sticks out her breasts(small) and holds in her stomach. It is very nice to look at when her ribs are popping through. She would be the perfect candidate for the skinny website. I would like to see her in a little bikini so we can see more of her ribs.
Leryn looks to have a very lean body. Like her figure…but as someone else has mentioned she should stick to modeling. At 5′9″ tall and 119 lbs…that is the same as the latest facts regarding Katie Holmes. About a week ago STAR MAGAZINE (dated Aug 11, 2008) did a piece on “Summer WINNERS & LOSERS” and Katie Holmes made the LOSER category. There were two pics of Katie & Supposedly in January of 2007 she was around 135 lbs. and now has lost around 16 lbs…which would put her at 119 lbs and she’s getting a GREAT DEAL of FLACK about that.
wow can i please be her
i think she is a model also!
)
is she the athlete which is speculated to be in a relationship with a croatian athlete?? (sp??
119 @ 5′9″ with that kind of muscle tone is not a BMI of 17.6. Athletes have a different calculation that takes into account their extra muscle mass.
More like 13-14.
So if you really want to get less “fat” get more muscles. They burn fat, afterall.
WOW! She sort of looks like a tranny in the 3rd pic. She has an amazing body!
Her face is very manly, but her body is great.
She looks less slim in those pics of her actually on the field before and after events.
the news just said the chinese meds can test positive as stimulants in olympic drug testing - anyone know what medicine they are reffering to?
She looks like a victoria secret model
@ the jess
please tell me where the site is to calculate athletes bmi
i never knew the bmi status changed (for athletes) thanx for telling me
i know to do body fat on the machines if you worked out more than 10 hrs a week
you would put in athlete (on the machine i tried)
i also know they do BF with callipers
(and the under water weighing) that has to feel claustrophobic to me idk why
can you consider yourself an athlete if your (long distance runner) like a marathoner
or do you need to be like an athlete professional / or olympic really outstanding i mean?
I hear ya Lily, I know what you mean when you say it’s refreshing to see an athletic build versus curvy or waify thin. I’ve made several comments before comparing my body as similar to Jennifer Gardner, Nicolette Sheridan etc. I’m also somewhat tall-ish(for an Asian chick at least): 5′7 , work out 5-6X a week, and follow a low fat diet, don’t really do red meat, just chicken and fish. After 2 kids, I looked soft and didn’t like it(like the new Katherine Mcfee pix) so in the last year, I got back into training, and now look closer to Leryn, than Katherine.
OMG katie holmes is 5′9 i thought 5′8 but not much of a difference BUT last picture we saw of her didn’t look close to this weight (119)- good for her i see no reason for the slack - other then people being jealous - even though i think her pear shape is ugly!
This woman looks heavier to me idk she looks great but i would think she weighs mre due to the muscle.
If her waist were a tad more defined she would be perfect. There should be a clear difference between the waist and the hips. Not much here.
Aw pet peeve. . . so glad you “diet and exercise” And sorry that you and silly have to self-compliment. But whatever makes you feel good!
smokin hot bod! lose the makeup though
BANGING
Pet peeve self-compliments too | 20/08/08
Aw pet peeve. . . so glad you “diet and exercise” And sorry that you and silly have to self-compliment. But whatever makes you feel good!
Yes I do. If we could only post pictures, I’d let you compliment me all you want, but since I can’t post a picture, I have to compliment myself. Toot-Tooting my own horn!
My body is very similar to hers also. My waist is more defined though(23 inch)I work out 5/ times a week doing tae-bo and some walking. I weigh 112lbs and am 5′10′’. I wish my thighs were smaller though. I guess I just have a muscular build, sigh
Anyways nice to see I’m not the only one.
and love to have it critiqued - that would be awesome even if it gav me a complex it can’t be as bad as the complexe i already have lol
that was funny pet peeve
sometimes i enjoy hearing about peoples bodies (from those who post - its kinda neat) it would be cool to hear where the person is from too hahaha
not bein rude but paschettios i immediately new your bmi was under 17 - it is @16.1 (thats way low to wish your thighs where smaller)
i know bc my bmi is low so i usually spot a low # in seconds.
i’m muscular too but im way more compact/smaller
i workout from 1-3hrs a day 6 dys a week
oh duh and i wanted to say her body is great very VS model but even stronger lookin
lol pet peeve.. i wish we could post pictures too!
she’s better than Vic Secrets model… Healthy foods + No Starving + Exercise…I think she’s in size 6 but still looks superb..What do you think?? Which one bsexier, Victoria B (size 0) or Leryn??
Right on Nikki!!! I thought I was the only one who considered this gross. She looks nothing like a VS model! That’s just insulting to hot girls like Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Natasha Poly.
eww
Finally a near consensus! How rare. Almost everyone, including myself is in agreement that this lady has a great body.
nastia! nastia! nastia!
Sigh. Yes, she has a good body. But I was hoping for some Olympic athletes who look even stronger (ie. like superwomen) and who don’t feel the need to tart themselves up. Their beauty is in their strength and confidence. Like Allyson Felix or Lolo Jones.
This one looks like a wannabe VS model. Yawn.
Are you sure this isn’t a man?
I HATE THE PINK AND WHITE PAGE POP UP AD!
Although I’m probably not as tall, this is my body type. Not to sound large headed, but I find this body to be healthy, strong and sexy!!!! Anyone know how tall she is?? Her face is uhhhhhhh………on the angular/manly side!!!
she looks more like she is running for “miss paraguay” rather than running (ok well javilin throwing)for paraguay in an olympic event. i mean the last pic looks like the swimsuit competition…..
she has an awesome body though!!!
Although she is probably quite a bit taller than me, this is my body type. I’d like to know how tall she is. Does anyone know her height?? Now this is what I find sexy, healthy and strong!!!! I haven’t decided on her face…..yeah, I’ll leave it at that!!!
she looks like she is running for “miss paraguay”…….not rep. them in them in an olympic event!!! i mean look at the last pic its the swimsuit competion.
she has an awesome body though
i wish i saw her in the event.
I think that was pretty rude Silly Lilly.
I know a lot of girls work out a lot who comment here and I see more girls who look like this rather than fashion models and ultra skinny celebs. This girl is actually a lot less muscular than many of the althetes. She looks more like a model.
OWOWOWOW she is HOT…
Fantastic, but the make up is WAY too much. She doesn’t need any.
all i have to say is that she has the midsection of a man, and that her shoes in the second picture are atrocious.
I want her body! but with better boobs. hers are kinda square looking?
It’s a good thing she has her looks going for her, because she sucks as a javelin-thrower!
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”
“Faster, Higher, Stronger”
i would post my picture as an icon - like on ‘you tube’
in fact i am 307point1 on you tube if that can be looked up, nothing great but nothing really awful (fit/thin maybe)
but thats only because it is a small little icon
and i am in a bikini but with a boyfriends denim jacket on
so you really only see the legs at a decent angle and not really the face so clearly (but on this site damn i’d try to avoid showing ‘too much’ as in (like her top pic) because everyone is so critical)
i would though show a pic whatever
but the only thing is then you can not post more then 1 time and that would suck, for me
cuz i post more then once… (also it would force a more polite response and not as honest)
i’m not as muscular but i’m fit and my bmi is similar - *little lower
wow she looks so great!!
haha that got moderation
her body is incredible.
Omg she looks like a transvestite!!! Her body is good though, but what the hell is she wearing in the last photo?!?
i would die for that body. face + makeup = ew.
Hot Damn! her abs are sick! I want them. Her shoes in the 2nd pic are unfortunate.
You can post pictures. Just open a Photobucket account or something, dump your photos in there, and then we can all see for ourselves the results of your hard workout efforts.
The perfect figure, very slim but lean she looks the picture of health! Id love some Karen elson posts please!
great and super heathy body.
ops.I mean healthy..
She’s def got a great body; her face is sort of weird looking, maybe it’s from all the make-up though.
Sure you can Cotton. Anyone who competes in races…whether it is a 5K or a marathon. Though I tend to take the point of view that if you do races as a hobby rather than a one off thing you can call yourself an athlete.
Wow I am definetly jealous of her body! She obviously works really hard to keep in such perfect shape. Lookin good!!
You call this a woman’s body? No waist? Except the only curve she has is probably her breast implants? 119 pounds at 5′9 can’t have breasts those size. Nice body……but not womanly and by no means “perfect.”
are her boobs fake?
see i could see a woman 119lbs 5′9 having boobs like hers they are not “that big”. at least i do not think they look really big or obviously implanted. her collar bone, breast bones aren’t jetting out so i do not see this as too light for having her own real boobs.
she has a wonderfully curved (in the good way VS model way) body, but her waist isn’t very defined. she is shapely strong and thin its really quite nice.
Her body is FANTASTIC, but she is no doubt a butter-face.
Hmmmm. Those don’t look like the typical ‘obvious’ boob implants to me…I was going to comment that I’d love to have her smaller breasts. There are thin women who have boobs, too!
She’s breathtaking in the first picture. She looks healthy and gorgeous!
Please post more athletes! Especially Olympic athletes. They are the picture of health & beauty. They’re so incredibly inspirational.
JUST WOW! SHES GORGEOUS!
javelin? her arms are so tiny…maybe that is why she was almost last though.
Her abs are awesome once again how do you get that from Javelin???weird
Her breasts seems a little out of proportion she is ubber skinny but has kinda large chest that’s kinda odd
I could leryn to like her!
other websites have modeling pics of her….I dunno how much she really cares about javelin. I wonder if it was a way to get her into the public eye to become a model. KWIM?
I mean which athletes have these glamour shots ? She is a like a model in training cuz when javelin isn’t gonna work out cuz she sucks, she is really after modeling and probably just out to marry a rich old man
Thanx Rian!
She looks perfect, I love it but maybe the abs are too much on the “buff” side… Her thighs are amazing.
this girl used to go out with my friend’s boyfriend. paraguayan society is very small so she’s pretty well known. in person she has a great body as well.
@ jodi
haha noway would i do a photobucket or myspace
- some people on here do though i give them props bc i wouldnt tear anyone who has enough courage (to face the ridicule of this site) down! well actually i do not rate myspace peoples bodies in general. but this site also attacks faces. ah and style. harsh.
so shit thats brave
at least they will not/do not get my verbal critique. they are posters its sort of interesting to see an image, just because. and its not as if anyone is a celeb to really judge.
Wow. Nice body. I really enjoy running a few times a week but I guess you’re only really “dedicated” if you can do 1-3 hours a day 6 days a weeks. That’d be nice but I have a family and while I think maintaining a healthy body is important, there is a thing called “excess.” I’d rather my children didn’t hate me for not being around. What are they going to say when they’re 18? “Gee mom. I’m so glad you were more into your personal fitness and achieving a BMI of -1 like those chicks on that “skinny website.”
Looks pretty darn good! First pic, her face looks like a mannequin though. lol.
OMG! Gorgeous. She’s curvy, fit, toned and hot, hot, hot.
Can’t fault this bod - but one might question her Eurotrash-Harlot-Chic clothing choices.
I don’t like her face, although her body is amazing! I wish it would be mine
unless in the second picture : the muscles on her stomach are frightning!
i’ve meant the first! SORRY!
i think a bmi of 1 is impossible no i know it is impossible
and working out 1-3 hrs a day,6 days a week with mondays off is called training for a marathon
I LOVE HER!!!!
Great body but honestly, there were MANY other T&F stars that are much prettier and better at what they do. The first pic is better than the second at highlighting her bod.
lol she looks like a transvestite
xx
