We kickoff our Medalist Monday segment with the cowboy that won the first gold medal in 2025.

2025 was a banner year for two-event cowboy Wacey Schalla qualifying for his second Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in both ba****ck and bull riding. Following his gold medal ride in SLC last July he said:

"I knew today was the day I was going to find out whether I was a ba****ck rider or not. I've never been on a horse that big or have that much power. To be able to prove to myself that I'm a dominant competitor and come out on top was my goal.”

He finished the year as the reserve world champion in the all-around race, 5th in the ba****ck riding and was 4th in the bull riding.

Over the weekend, he unfortunately sustained a broken femur at the Music City Rodeo in Nashville. He had surgery on Sunday (May 31) and we are wishing him a speedy recovery. Heal up Champ!
