Walker appears to be in the driver’s seat for the win, but anything can happen in the finals. Stay tuned with BarBend to see who leaves the stage with the championship ring as the 2024 New York Pro winner.
Men’s Open Finals
When prejudging of the 2024 New York Pro Men’s Open division ended, Nick Walker and Martin Fitzwater appeared to be the top two men in the lineup. They were front and center as prejudging ended. Other contenders included 2023 winner Tonio Burton and Stuart Sutherland, who was making a surprising impact on the lineup,
It was time for finals and the confirmation round in Teaneck, NJ. The athletes were again ready to face the fans and judges to conclude the 20th edition of this exciting contest. The top 10 were introduced one at a time for the fans:
- Tim Budesheim (Germany)
- Tonio Burton (United States)
- Angel Calderon Frias (Spain)
- Quinton Eriya (Canada)
- Martin Fitzwater (United States)
- Emir Omeragic (Germany)
- Justin Luis Rodriguez (United States)
- Stuart Sutherland (United States)
- Nicholas Walker (United States)
- Krystian Wolski (Poland)
The crowd popped for Fitzwater, but they got even louder for Walker, who was originally from New Jersey and had many family and friends in attendance. After the fans greeted the top 10, it was time for the final round of comparisons. Here is how head judge Tyler Manion grouped the top ten contenders.
Callout # 1
- Tonio Burton (United States)
- Martin Fitzwater (United States)
- Nicholas Walker (United States)
- Stuart Sutherland (United States)
Callout # 2
- Emir Omeragic (Germany)
- Tim Budesheim (Germany)
- Quinton Eriya (Canada)

- Justin Luis Rodriguez (United States)
Callout # 3
- Tonio Burton (United States)
- Stuart Sutherland (United States)
Callout # 4
- Martin Fitzwater (United States)
- Nicholas Walker (United States)
Manion flipped the script and started with the front runners. As many expected, Fitzwater and Walker stood front and center for this callout. Quinton Eriya and Krystian Wolski maintained center in the second callout. They were battling for the fifth-place position.
Defending champion Tonio Burton and Stuart Sutherland were in their callout to see who would be in the top three. This almost guaranteed that Burton would not repeat as champion.
Walker and Fitzwater were in the final callout of the round. This is important for Walker because he needs the win to qualify for the Olympia. Fitzwater won the Detroit Pro earlier in the season and is already Olympia-qualified. Manion announced that only one point separated them after prejudging, then put them through another round of posing. This was followed by a posedown for the fans.
The results were not revealed until the night’s end, and fans were ecstatic. The top five men were brought back onstage for the awards. Burton was announced in third place, leaving Walker and Fitzwater waiting for the dramatic moment of glory or disappointment.
Announcer Shannon Dey announced that “The King of New York” was Walker. Fitzwater took home silver.
Walker is now a two-time New York Pro winner and is eligible to move on to the Mr. Olympia. The champion was greeted by IFBB Pro League president Jim Manion and promoter Steve Weinberger to receive his awards and celebrate his accomplishment.

Ultimately, the title and Olympia qualification went to Henton, who scored her first New York Pro win after a three-year absence from the stage. She is now set to compete in the Olympia as well.
- 1st Place — Sheronica Henton (United States)

Bikini Results
Bikini Winner: Aimee Leann Delgado
The 2024 New York Pro prejudging round concluded with the Bikini division. 2023 winner Aimee Leann Delgado was looking to defend her title while her 11 opponents were looking to hear “and the new” at the end of the evening.
Pre-judging began with group comparisons followed by individual presentations. They were brought out to center stage in the following order:
- Verushqa Andrade (United States)
- Shantal Barros (United States)
- Aimee Leann Delgado (United States)
- Valeria Fedorenko (Ukraine)
- Vanessa Guzman (United States)
- Ashley Marie Lee (United States)
- Vanesa Ocana (Argentina)
- Janet Ortega (United States)
- Huyen Person (United States)
- Sharon Ramos (Dominican Republic)
- Lisa Reith (Germany)
- Luciana Santos (Brazil)
Bikini Pre-Judging
Delgado was the favorite going into the show, but the competition still had to take place to confirm she was the best of the day. It would take callouts for that to happen, and Manion requested the following call-outs:
Callout # 1
- Valeria Fedorenko (Ukraine)
- Huyen Person (United States)
- Aimee Leann Delgado (United States)
- Lisa Reith (Germany)
- Sharon Ramos (Dominican Republic)
- Luciana Santos (Brazil)
Callout # 2
- Janet Ortega (United States)
- Verushqa Andrade (United States)
- Vanessa Guzman (United States)
- Ashley Marie Lee (United States)
- Shantal Barros (United States)
- Vanesa Ocana (Argentina)
Callout # 3
- Huyen Person (United States)
- Aimee Leann Delgado (United States)
- Sharon Ramos (Dominican Republic)
- Lisa Reith (Germany)
As expected, Delgado was in the center of the first callout. She was joined by Lisa Reith of Germany, who appeared determined to make this a close show. Sharon Ramos would trade places with Reith before the callout was over. Ramos and Delgado were in the third and final comparison to conclude the round.
Bikini Finals
Aimee Delgado was considered the favorite as she was defending her New York Pro Bikini division title on May 18, 2024, but there were 11 other contenders that wanted to beat Delgado and earn a qualification for the 2024 Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, NV. Meanwhile, Delgado had a qualification secured already thanks to her two wins this season. If she won here, then no qualification would be awarded.
Prejudging was held on the morning show, and the athletes returned to the stage for the evening finals. All 12 athletes were introduced to the crowd before the finals began. The lineup was as follows.
- Verushqa Andrade (United States)
- Shantal Barros (United States)
- Aimee Leann Delgado (United States)
- Valeria Fedorenko (Ukraine)
- Vanessa Guzman (United States)
- Ashley Marie Lee (United States)
- Vanesa Ocana (Argentina)
- Janet Ortega (United States)
- Huyen Person (United States)
- Sharon Ramos (Dominican Republic)
- Lisa Reith (Germany)
- Luciana Santos (Brazil)
The final round of the competition featured judges’ comparisons to verify their decisions on where the athletes would be placed. Head judge Tyler Manion grouped them in the following callouts.
Callout # 1
- Vanesa Ocana (Argentina)
- Janet Ortega (United States)
- Ashley Marie Lee (United States)
- Vanessa Guzman (United States)
- Shantal Barros (United States)
- Verushqa Andrade (United States)
Callout # 2
- Valeria Fedorenko (Ukraine)
- Huyen Person (United States)
- Aimee Leann Delgado (United States)
- Sharon Ramos (Dominican Republic)
- Lisa Reith (Germany)
- Luciana Santos (Brazil)
Fans watching live and on the pay-per-view livestream did not have to wait long for the winner to be announced. Some fans on social media felt that Delgado winning was a mere formality, and they were correct. The champ retains her title and keeps a rival from qualifying for the Olympia. Sharon Ramos and Huyen Person took second and third places, respectively.
- 1st Place — Aimee Leann Delgado (United States)
- 2nd Place — Sharon Ramos (Dominican Republic)
- 3rd Place —Huyen Person (United States)
- 4th Place —Lisa Reith (Germany)
- 5th Place —Valeria Fedorenko (Ukraine)
