Biography

Davana was born on January 28, 1974, in Ponce, Puerto Rico. She won her first figure competition, the NPC Bev Francis Atlantic States.

Davana turned professional after winning the first NPC Figure Nationals in 2001. However, there were no professional figure contests until 2003, so she was forced to take a year off from competition. She has been one of the more successful women in figure competition, winning the first three Figure Olympias.[4] Davana competes at 5'7" and 130 pounds.[5][6]

After missing the 2006 IFBB Figure Olympia, Medina retired from the sport. On July 14, 2010, it was confirmed that Davana would be making a comeback to the competitive stage as a bikini competitor at the IFBB Europa Hartford Bikini Championships. However, she later pulled out of the competition.[7]
