At the 2016 Cottbus World Cup, Ray made history by giving his name to a floor element: the «Zapata» , an honor reserved for gymnastics legends.
After gifting his Olympic silver medal to his daughter Olympia, Ray set a new and ambitious goal: the Olympic gold. And since September 2025, he has been pursuing that challenge with the support of Clonapure®, his partner in performance, recovery, and muscular energy.
