Dominguin was maneuvering his bull for the picadors when it suddenly charged, sank a horn into his lower abdomen. Struggling up off the sand, Dominguin was doggedly advancing again on the bull, dripping blood, when his helpers scooped him up and carried him to the infirmary. True to the ritual of their craft, Ordonez killed Dominguin's bull, while doctors were examining the battered matador and deciding that he would not be able to resume the mano a mano "for 20 or 30 days...
