Dominican Rep. National Karate-Do Tournament October 4th 2008 2/8 (Semifinal)

Esteban Vela Montaño (ME!!!!^-^), performing a Shotokan Enpi, on October 4th of 2008 (during the National Karate-Do tournament). The event was done in the "Juan Pablo Duarte" Olympic Center. First Round, Category 18-20, yon-kyu and up.
I made quite a mistake, and I tried to hide it, but my reaction wasn't fast enough.

I was without anything like concentration or focus, my mind was blank, empty...in Spanish, I'd say "Whiter than snow, a dove, or anything like that". So I did an extra step, and then "Ups, this is not the right leg, damn it!!! I did an extra movement, what do I do? What do I do? Well, I did an extra one, let me make it an "extra two" and Voilá, automatic loss. :P

That way, I ended in the fight for 3rd Place.

If you hear like a permanent clapping in the video, it is not the sound of hundreds of emotive spectators. Actually, it is the Rain on the roof.
