Cuban actress and influencer Imaray Ulloa surprised her millions of followers by competing in the NPC Diamond Classic tournament, held in Boca Raton, Florida, where she earned two medals in bikini fitness categories after eight months of intensive training.

Ulloa, who was born in Sancti Spiritus and is based in Miami, finished in second place in the True Novice category and third in Class B, competing before the National Physique Committee (NPC), the leading amateur bodybuilding federation in the United States. Her Instagram post announcing the results received over 101,000 reactions within hours, a reflection of the enormous support from her community of more than five million followers.

"Stepping out of my comfort zone, daring to enter a completely different world, facing my fears and proving to myself that I could — that was already a victory for me. But on top of living that experience, coming back with medals in my hands makes it even more special," the artist shared. Her partner, surgeon Fabian Fontaine, celebrated her results, acknowledging that he had initially doubted her ability to maintain the strict training regimen throughout the eight-month preparation period she documented publicly step by step.
