Fun Facts about Cody: He didn’t leave bull riding but took a break from the rodeo trail. His last Wrangler National Finals Rodeo was in 2016, four years after he won the world championship. His last NFR will always be a special one as he and Kaitlyn got married the night before the competition started. His return to Las Vegas, the Thomas and Mack Arena and the NFR this year will see them celebrating an anniversary and Cody’s success in the rodeo arena. Going back to the NFR will take more packing and planning as the couple has two daughters, and they have a variety of animals at home that will require care while the family is traveling. At his last NFR, he competed in four rounds, then was out the remaining with injuries. Just returning to rodeo’s biggest stage is a huge accomplishment, but Cody is far from being satisfied with just qualifying.
