The contest to crown the World’s Hottest Olympian came down to a two-woman race between Leryn Franco, the gorgeous Paraguayan javelin thrower, and Alicia Sacramone, the nubile America gymnast. But in the end, Franco’s versatility and experience (she’s a veteran bikini contest competitor and professional model), was too much for Sacramone to overcome. So, here she is – the hottest Olympian of the 2008 games.
In our last prelim heat to crown the World’s Hottest Olympian, I had to make some tough choices. Sorry Jennie Finch, Natalie Coughlin, Dara Torres, Misty May. Candian rythmic gymnast Alexandra Orlando who one site put at the top of their top 50? She didn’t even make it into my top 24. In this last heat, Brazilian beach volleyball player Talita Antunes goes against American sprinter Allyson Felix, American gymnast Nastia Liukin, American soccer player Heather Mitts and the U.K.’s heptathalon competitor Kelly Sotherton.

In our quest to find the hottest Olympian, American swimmer Amanda Beard faces, Paraguay javelin thrower Leryn Franco, Chinese diver Guo Jing Jing, Italian volleyball player Francesca Piccinini and Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice. While Beard has to be considered the frontrunner because of name recognition, I don’t think you can count out Franco, who is probably the hottest javelin thrower ever.

Today, we start Round 1 of our quest to crown the world’s hottest Olympian. The first heat puts Brazilian beach volleyball player Larissa Franca’s backside against American track star Kara Goucher, Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and American gymnast Alicia Sacramone. This is a tough match up, especially since it seems the only pictures of Franca that exist are from behind. Can Goucher, who has already medaled in these games, pull off the upset? Will Sacramone keep her balance long enough to make it into the next round? Or will Isinbayeva continue her world dominance? You decide. [VOTE IN ALL THE PRELIM HEATS HERE]
