Manolo Mejia cuts two ears, and Hilda cuts one, and both are carried out on shoulders, thats a first.
Before the bullfight there were two stars, yet one had a majority of people rooting for her. After all she just became the 9th Matadora de Toros, or Female Bullfighter. But both were carried out on shoulders, and many say that it shouldnt have happened like that, notmally being carried out on shoulders is reserved for those cutting 2 ears or more in a bullfight.
Well, I think the public gave it to her anyways, both because she made history, and because she almost cut two ears, hadnt she pinched.
The afternoon was witnessed by about 7 thousand, on a sunny and windy afternoon. The bulls were good in general, with the 4th and 6th bulls taken away slowly (arraste lento) from the ring (honorable).
The final results of this historic bullfight:
Manolo Mejia: silencio y dos orejas Ruiz Manuel: silencio y pitos Hilda Tenorio: ovacion y oreja
