Brazilian Guilherme Marchi, ironman of the Professional Bull Riders tour, is hanging up his spurs at the end of the 2018 season. The PBR world Finals are currently underway in Las Vegas. Pending the final three days of competition, Marchi stands at 633 successful rides (totaling 84 minutes, 24 seconds). It is one of those records that might very well stand forever, or at least for a very long time. Marchi's career at the top level spans 15 years. Only six riders have ever ridden 400 times to the 8-second horn. And after Marchi retires, only one of them will remain active... J.B. Mauney at ~525 rides.
Marchi was PBR World Champion in 2008. A decade later, the highly respected magazine "Men's Fitness" declared that Marchi was still the world's fittest athlete.
