Two female Mexican bullfighters, one a single mother competing for the first time in three years, have been gored in a bloody annual festival.
The two fighters, Karla de los Angeles and Lupita Lopez, were taking part in an all-women event called the "festejo de damas", alongside Hilda Tenorio. The event was staged at one of the world's biggest bullrings, Plaza Mexico.
De los Angeles, one of Mexico's best-known female bullfighters, was fighting for the first time since she withdrew from the sport in 2011 to look after her young daughter.
Before the fight, she had spoken of her dream of becoming a matador - a master bullfighter - and made national headlines by saying "being a mother is not an impediment".
During her fight, the 25-year-old was struck twice by the bull, known as Gamusino. The first injury came when the animal tossed the fighter over its head as she went for the killer blow.

I saw a few millimeters of empty space on that website that they could probably squeeze another ad in.

It’s a dangerous sport. Isn’t that pretty much the point?
I wish them well.

This is a disgusting spectacle. I’m glad the bull scores a (Pyrrhic) victory.

The bull is a misogynist.
To: Citizen Zed
Instead of “festejo de damas,” the all-female event should be renamed “festejo de dumass.” Jus sayin’ : )
To: Beowulf9
Sounds like a lot of Bull!!!
To: Citizen Zed
What is that woman thinking,she has small children at home!
She had a dream of becoming a matador,what about her kids dream of growing up with a mother?
