Cristina Lora wins Operación Triunfo 2025, Olivia Bay finishes second

Cristina Lora, a singer from Seville, won the 2025 edition of Operación Triunfo (OT), Spain's long-running televised music talent contest. The final gala was broadcast on Prime Video on 15 December 2025 and closed the 13th edition of the format, the second to air on the streaming platform.

The last stage came down to a duel between Cristina and Olivia Bay. Cristina took the title with roughly 46 per cent of the public vote, while Olivia finished second. Tinho was reported as third. Spanish media described the result as widely expected, although some fans debated it online.

The win mattered because OT acts as a launchpad for new Spanish pop artists. Reports indicated the winner receives a 100,000 euro prize to invest in her first music project. For Olivia Bay, finishing as runner-up gave her a national audience and a platform to begin her own recording career after the programme ended.
