Complete Athlete List and Event Breakdowns
Men’s Open
The Men’s Open Division of the 2021 IFBB New York Pro is stacked, with rivals Blessing Awodibu and Nick Walker facing off, Justin Rodriguez making a quick turnaround after winning the Indy Pro, and prospects like Hassan Mostafa, Morgan Aste and more. This division alone will be well worth the price of admission.

212 Division
There is a lot to like about the 212 Division this weekend. There are some exciting athletes to look forward to, such as Derik Oslan, Samir Troudi, Noel Adame, and more to look out for in Florida, as these men battle it out to earn their invitation to the 2021 Mr. Olympia.
Classic Physique
With the Classic Physique division growing rapidly in popularity, keep an eye out for a new contender to emerge victorious at the New York Pro. That said, whoever wins will have to beat out the other elite athletes on this roster, including Dani Younan and Dmitrii Vorotyntsev to name a few.
Men’s Physique
The Men’s Physique Division is the most filled division on the men’s side of this contest. With the division being this stacked, do not be surprised if the top five of the division is largely made up of people who are still looking to establish their position in the sport.
Women’s Bodybuilding
The return of the Ms. Olympia continues to bring more and more excitement to the sport. The next contender for that throne could very well be competing in the Women’s Bodybuilding division at the 2021 IFBB New York Pro, with LaDawn McDay or any of the other women competing.
Figure Division
The always entertaining Figure Division will be making its return this weekend. Nine different women will stake their claim to deserving an invite to this year’s Olympia, with big performances here.
Wellness Division
Fans are excited to see the Wellness Division at this year’s Olympia, and this has brought out a new crop of athletes for this division. It will be interesting to see who emerges as a serious threat for that title this weekend.
Bikini Division
The fan favorite Bikini Division will be well represented at the New York Pro this weekend, with a slew of athletes competing. The most ladies will be competing in this division, so you can expect a tight competition.
Women’s Physique
With six women coming out to the New York Pro for the Women’s Physique division, there is not a lot to break down with this event. However the winner will have a decent shot at beating Sarah Villegas at the Olympia this year.
