She won the Diamond Race in the women's discus throw of the IAAF Diamond League both in 2010 and in 2011.
She won the 2012 Cuban National Championships with a personal best throw of 68.03 metres.[1]
Barrios finished the Olympic discus competition in 2008 in the second place, but was disqualified by the IOC on September 1, 2016, because of doping due to a sample reanalysis which resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substance Acetazolamide.[2]
Barrios sold her Olympic silver medal on auction site, eBay, for unknown reasons, and it was bought for $11,000 (£9,000).[3]
