He deserves to hear this a million times and for the nth time, we’ll say it again. James de los Santos is unstoppable.

In dominant form and with momentum on his side, Filipino virtual kata great de los Santos bagged another gold medal and clinched his 33rd international medal.

Delos Santos reigned supreme in the Athlete’s E-Tournament Series final after a close showdown against familiar foe American Alfred Bustamante, 25.66-25.06 during the men’s E-kata event.

After the emphatic victory over Bustamante, de los Santos cemented his world no.1 spot in the world virtual kata rankings and will go down as the undisputed best when 2020 ends.

Previously, the prized Filipino karateka ruled two of the most prestigious virtual kata tournaments, the Venice Cup and the E-Champions Trophy World Series.

With 2020 about to close, de los Santos said that he is still not done and will still join more tournaments to solidify his world no.1 spot.

“It’s not over yet. There are still 3 more tournaments for me to finish before I exit 2020 with a bang. One final push,” said de los Santos.
