“Broke His Collarbone”: CEO of Professional Bull Riding Commends Champion Athlete for Triumphing Despite Brutal Fall

The sport of bull riding has always been one for grit and strength. Matching the beast’s stride for a full 8-sec frame has determined a cowboy’s standing for decades. The PBR has introduced thousands of such cowboys throughout its years of existence. Sporting an injury or presenting a mouth-gaping comeback, the sport has demonstrated its challenging presence.

Amongst the many PBR showcases of vigor, the PBR Canada Cup Series has been the center stage for enthusiasts over the past months. The occasion marked its beginning back in Feb to ultimately land its finals night over the weekend at Roger Place. After 2 days of thrill and anticipation, Dakota Buttar rose to clinch the coveted title. However, the champion’s journey through the battle wasn’t a smooth sail; entailing the story of resilience and turns the sport withholds.

Dakota Buttar receives a heartfelt appreciation

Entering Rogers Place on the 17th evening wasn’t exactly an ideal situation for Buttar. The bull riding icon had suffered a broken collarbone during the season’s stop at Grande Prairie, Alberta. The incident had obliged Buttar to stay off the grounds for over a month. Nonetheless, the rider entered well and determined to gain back the standing and rise to the pinnacle. With accomplishment on board, the action did not slip the PBR CEO’s eyes.

“Seven weeks ago, Dakota Buttar broke his collarbone in winning Grande, Prairie, Alberta, putting him atop the PBR Canada Standings,” Sean Gleason started sharing the winning moments of Buttar. “…making up 95.66 points on No. 1 Cody Coverchuk to win his second Canadian championship and become the fourth rider to claim multiple PBR Canada titles. Congratulations Dakota, every other determined bull rider,” he continued applauding the shunning journey of Buttar; surging from behind to the top.

Dakota’s bull riding spectacle

On the opening evening of the event, Dakota was placed 3rd in the standings behind Coverchuck and Tetz. With 2 rounds on board for the evening, the situation did not prove to be favourable either. Cross-field native, Tyler Craig, dominated the night as he ended three points ahead of the veteran. Nonetheless, 84.75 aboard Young Blood for round 1 and 86 atop High Voltage fetched him 47 national points, catapulting ahead the table toppers.

The matching stride led Buttar to his $100,00 victory of the season and 2nd title in his career. On the 18th evening, Dakota Buttar became just the fourth rider in history to win the title in multiple seasons.
