Leryn Franco doesn't advance to javelin finals, another Olympic judging controversy

There was another judging controversy at the Olympics when the judges failed to notice all women's javelin throwers except Leryn Franco and one other fouled on their attempts to throw the javelin. If the judges had used this calendar to mark the date of the event, I am pretty sure they wouldn't have made that mistake.

Here are the results, only Leryn and Rumyana Karapetrova actually made their throws without illegally throwing the Javelin further than 45.34 meters or whatever distance is possible for the average supermodel.

Hopefully, a petition can be started to correct this travesty. For Super XP, it is common knowledge her official Olympic video was planned for release on HD DVD if she had made the finals.

A sad day for all who knew how hard she worked to be the best.

Yes, although I was just thinking that another four years of proper diet and exercise, she can come back and be the best at the next Olympics. She did win the first event of the Olympics, the 400M walk with flag wave, she got gold for that.
