All eyes in the bodybuilding world were on the New York Pro – erm, in Tampa – this weekend for the IFBB New York Pro 2021. For a second year, the event was moved to Florida due to restrictions in New York caused by COVID-19. Unlike last year, there was much more time for the athlete to prepare from the start of the year. Ultimately, Nick Walker took the overall first place win in the Men’s Open division. Keep reading for full breakdown of the New York Pro 2021 results.
This year’s New York Pro held all nine divisions – making it one of the biggest bodybuilding events of the year. Not only that but the competition usually attracts some of the biggest names in bodybuilding. For those who follow pro bodybuilding closely, the New York Pro can be a predictor of what we can expect at the Mr. Olympia later in the year. Past champions include Kai Greene, Dexter Jackson, Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay and Phil Heath to name a few.
And while there were many divisions competing at the New York Pro 2021, majority of the hype was focused on the Men’s Open division. Specifically, with extra attention brought to Blessing Awodibu and Nick Walker as their rivalry has fueled much excitement leading into the show.
Though last weekend’s Indy Pro 2021 might have changed expectations a bit. Surprisingly, a large chunk of Men’s Open competitors from the Indy Pro reappeared for the New York Pro. Justin Rodriguez, who won the Indy Pro just last weekend, returned to the stage alongside other competitors such as Mohammad El Emam and Morgan Aste.
This large chunk of competitors from the Indy Pro gave fans extra insight as to what we might see on the stage this weekend. The true wild cards came in the form of Nick Walker and Hassan Mostafa. Both competitors received a large amount of hype but have yet to compete in 2021 before the New York Pro.
All things considered, this created a mega clash of titans where big personalities and even bigger physiques battled on stage. It was the most exciting bodybuilding competition of the year to date. But there can only be one champion above the rest. Did Blessing Awodibu step up his game from his 3rd place finish at the Indy Pro? Or did Nick Walker or Hassan Mostafa bring in a fresh perspective for a big win?
Champions of the New York Pro 2021 receive qualification to the Mr. Olympia later this year. So with that, let’s break down the New York Pro 2021 results below. Presented by Enhanced Labs and Nutrabio.
