‘September to Remember’; ika-12 gold medal, nasungkit ni Pinoy karateka James De los Santos sa Venice Cup 2020

Memorable ang buwan ng Setyembre kay World No. 2 James De los Santos sa kanyang sinalihang E-tournament.

Nasungkit ni James ang ika-7 online gold medal at 12^th overall pagkatapos daigin si Nejc Sternisa ng Slovenia, 25.2-23.7 sa Venice Cup 2020.

Dahil ditto, lalo pang lumapit ang 30-anyos na former national team member sa world No.1 na si Eduardo Garcia ng Portugal.

 “My 12th gold has brought me a lot closer to the No. 1 spot,” ani De los Santos.

“Back in August, I became the No. 2 virtual kata player. But I was trailing behind the No. 1 spot by nearly 3000 points.”

“Now, I’ve really come this far. I’m surprised with myself. I just need at least two more tournaments to claim that spot,” ani De los Santos.

Sa ngayon, nakalikom na ng 7765 points si James kumpara sa 8125 points ni Garcia. Ilan sa kanyang torneong sinalihan sa buong buwan ng September ay ang Tokaido Maribor Open eTournament, the 4th SportData eTournament World Series, the Hatamoto Kai Mitad Del Mundo E-Tournament, E-Champions Trophy World Series, Miyamoto Musashi Five Rings at the 2nd Dutch Open E-Tournament.
