Rodeo is a traditional folk North American sport with influences from the history of Mexican vaqueros (cowboys) and American cowboys. Rodeo events include bull riding, bareback bronc riding, "saddle bronc" riding, steer wrestling, calf roping, and women's barrel racing.

Rodeo first appeared as an exhibition Olympic sport at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.
