Coverchuk, Tetz to battle for 2024 PBR Canada champion title [Video]

Two of Canada’s previous bull riding champions will compete for the 2024 title this weekend in Edmonton.

The championship will be a contest between Cody Coverchuk from Meadow Lake, Sask., and Nick Tetz from Calgary.

Both are ranked almost 600 points ahead their peers, making them the only two out of 20 finals qualifiers in contention for the championship title. 

They are separated by a mere 21.75 points. 

Coverchuk is after what would be a record third championship title, having won in 2018 and 2021.

Tetz, the 2022 champion, has had a record season, according to PBR Canada, and caught up to Coverchuk in the standings after he sustained a groin injury.

The champion will win $100,000.

All 20 national finals qualifiers will compete in three rounds of bull riding at Rogers Place. The 12 top-scoring riders will advance to a fourth and the final round on Saturday, where they can also earn points toward their championship effort.
