Conor Galvin is a college student from Bridgeport, Connecticut who has competed on American Ninja Warrior four times, along with his grandfather, Ducky Walsh, who served in World War II and was always on his sideline until he passed away in 2022.
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
He competed in Baltimore for his rookie season and he made an outstanding performance on just his first season in qualifying, finishing the course with the 2nd fastest time. From there, he got to participate in the Power Tower, facing off against Dave Cavanagh. He was almost equal with Cavanagh's run for the most part, until he hesitated at the balance beam, leaving the door open for Cavanagh. In the end, he couldn't keep up with Cavanagh's pace. In the city finals, he failed Angry Birds but still managed to qualify for Vegas placing 5th. However, on Stage One, he failed the Tire Run, ending his rookie season.
Conor did not compete on Season 12, but he did get to test the obstacles in St. Louis. He even ran the course in a peacock costume which was briefly shown in the finals to promote the new Peacock streaming service. He was actually slated to compete in Washington D.C, before the competition was modified.
American Ninja Warrior 13[]
Likely to make up for the unprecedented modification last season, Conor did receive a call to compete on ANW13. He competed in the fourth episode of qualifying, where in a digested performance, he was briefly shown to have failed the Air Surfer and didn't make the top 30 at the end of the night.
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
Conor returned to compete in the second round of qualifying. His run was once again digested, but it was shown that he chose to do the Serpent at Split Decision, and he failed it, making it the second season in a row where he didn't make the top 30.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
Conor returned to compete in the final episode of qualifying. His run was shown for the first time since American Ninja Warrior 11, where Conor made it through the Double Twister once again, made it through the third (being the Dangerous Waters) and fourth obstacles this time (being the dangerous Duck Duck Goose), and hit his first buzzer since American Ninja Warrior 11, moving onto the semifinals once again placing 3rd.
Conor raced against Jeff Loftus during the semifinals. His race was digested, but while Jeff failed Hopscotch, Conor went on to clear the course, advancing to his second National Finals.
On Stage One, Conor was digested and once again failed on the fifth obstacle as he got spun out by The Gambler.
Despite making it to Stage One during the previous season, he has announced that he didn’t recieve the call for American Ninja Warrior 17 but would be testing the course.
