Matador Jose Tomas had a lucky escape yesterday when he was gored not once, but TWICE during a bullfight in Madrid.The 32-year-old, who is widely considered one of the best bullfighters of all time, was competing at the Las Ventas bullring in the Spanish capital when he sustained his injuries.Tomas, who received medical treatment at the scene, sustained one groin injury that looked exceptionally painful.Enlarge Ouch: Matador Jose Tomas is gored in a sensitive spot by the second bullJust two weeks ago, Tomas survived another goring during a bullfight at the 'El Coso de los Califas' ring in Cordoba.Following that incident, veteran critic Juan Belmonte of Canal Sur television in Seville said that success in bullfighting is a question of having a unique style, a personal flair that breaks the mould that usually makes one matador virtually indistinguishable from the next - and in this Tomas excels.Scroll down for moreEnlarge Enlarge Blood sport: Jose Tomas is tossed in the air, top, before being gored for a second time, bottomTomas gets up very close to the bull - both before luring it into a charge and as it rumbles by - and looks relaxed and natural in his bravado, showing utter disregard for all the danger, Belmonte said.He added, 'You realise that the guy out there gives the impression that he does not care if he dies right then.'Tomas left bullfighting behind in 2002, at the peak of his career, without saying why, and returned to the sport a year ago.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Ha ha Shannon.... I know I read somewhere that the bulls are doped sometimes, even if I hadnt Im sure that they are...especially when I read this bit and Im sure bulls never used to "rumble by" I thought that they "charged by" if you were lucky. Tomas gets up very close to the bull - both before luring it into a charge and as it rumbles by - and looks relaxed and natural in his bravado, showing utter disregard for all the danger, Belmonte said.He added, 'You realise that the guy out there gives the impression that he does not care if he dies right then.'Thats cos he knows he wont die...he must have just been having a very "big headed" day, and maybe he left his "personal flair" at home...well like you said...if he carries on having groin injuries, hopefully the long line of brainless matadors will die out with him. I dont know why they cant just play football...young Ronaldo is making his fortune out of it, and it seems to teach them how to act too.
