| The World’s Toughest Rodeo came to Columbus Feb. 16 at Nationwide Arena. Eight professional cowboys got six rides total; four on the broncos and two on the bulls in just a 90 minute time frame. Whoever stayed on for eight seconds, with the most style, won the title and the deed of a 32-acre ranch in Colorado. Here, Nelson Tsosie, 21, of Farmington, N.M. gets knocked off the back of his bronco.
