Ataviada con un elegante vestido, Leryn Franco desfiló por la pista del estadio la noche del viernes en la inauguración de los Juegos Olímpicos Londres 2012. Aunque no es la deportista más prometedora de medalla en Paraguay, si es la más fotografiada, la más seguida, quizá de toda Latinoamérica.
Franco espera para competir en la prueba de atletismo de Lanzamiento de Jabalina. Pese a su gran experiencia, no ha logrado conseguir un buen lugar entre los deportistas de élite.
"De chica nunca pensé que haría televisión modelaje o campañas", dijo a la BBC días antes de viajar a Londres. Y es que su esbelta silueta arrebata la atención de aficionados, medios de comunicación y colegas.
