Filipina fitness model Lou Jen Saldo emerged victorious in the recently concluded Fitness Universe Championships in Miami Beach, Florida.
Saldo won two titles: 2017 Fitness Universe Champion and Miss Bikini Short Class Champion.
Speaking with Fitness Universe, Saldo said she never expected to win in her first international competition.
“Actually, I never expected to win. Since I was still on jet lag, I knew it would be hard for me to do things, especially since the time here and in the Philippines is very different. It was hard to adapt to it,” she said. “I just stayed strong and believed in myself that no matter what happens, I would showcase what I have.”
“I’m so happy and blessed that in my first ever big international competition, I won both categories,” she added.
