2023 New York Pro Results and Scorecards

2023 New York Pro results

Here are the full results from the 2023 New York Pro!

The 2023 New York Pro took place on Saturday, May 20th, in Teaneck, New Jersey. A total of nine winners earning qualification to the 2023 Olympia. The New York Pro has become one of the biggest shows on the bodybuilding schedule and this year did not disappoint.

The Olympia qualification system has changed this year. If an athlete did not finish in the top three in the previous year, or top five in Men’s Open, they will have to win a show to qualify. The points qualification system is no more. Also, former winners of an Olympia title have lifetime eligibility.

The New York Pro has crowned a new champion in Men’s Open. Blessing Awodibu was victorious in 2022 but did not return to defend his title. This opened the door for other competitors, such as Tonio Burton and Maxx Charles. Tonio Burton came out victorious in the Men’s Open division at the 2023 New York Pro. 

Awodibu might not have returned but three divisions saw last year’s winner defend their titles. Noel Adame (212), Natalia Abraham Coelho (Women’s Physique), and Donna Salib (Women’s Bodybuilding) were al crowned champions in their divisions in 2022.

Below, you can find live updates from the event as results come in all nine divisions including Men’s Open, Classic Physique, 212 Bodybuilding, Men’s Physique, Women’s Bodybuilding, Women’s Physique, Figure, Bikini, and Wellness.
