Jaime Ostos Carmona has died at the age of 90 in Bogotá after suffering a myocardial infarction while sleeping.
He traveled to Colombia to spend the end of the year with his wife, Dr. María Ángeles Grajal and witness the bullfighting fairs in Cali and Manizales.
Almost two years ago he overcame a delicate situation when he was in the ICU of the Hospital de la Zarzuela in Madrid for coronavirus. He had been hospitalized for three months due to a vertebral problem that, since the previous summer, had diminished the mobility of the teacher from Écija (Seville). A purebred bullfighter leaves, he will be remembered for his absolute dedication and for a value of law that cost him several serious goring during his career. He was about to lose his life in 1963 in the famous goring of Tarazona de Aragón. The intervention of Dr. Val Carreres and his team was providential. Ángel Peralta then plugged the wound through which the teacher's life was leaving. He came to receive the extreme unction.
He was born into a wealthy family on April 8, 1933. After studying for high school, he trained as an airplane pilot. But his true vocation led him to try to be a bullfighter at 19 years of age.
In '52 he made his debut without picadors in Écija and two years later he made an impact on his presentation at La Maestranza, managing to cut off three ears
. It was gaining atmosphere, also in Madrid where he was injured and stood out for his courage. On October 13, 1956 he took the alternative in Zaragoza from the hands of Miguel Baez 'Litri' and in the presence of Antonio Ordóñez.
After the doctorate, he put himself in excellent condition to take the leap: he triumphed in Seville and in the northern fairs, his fiefdoms forever. He did not confirm in Madrid until 58, afternoon in which Antonio Bienvenida suffered a very serious goring to the neck, with Gregorio Sánchez as a witness. That year he would sign two good tasks in Las Ventas without rounding off with the sword. Precisely, years later, he became a reference with the rapier for his forcefulness. As a muleteer, he stood out for how tight he wore them.
He managed to harvest a great poster in Seville, he was the absolute winner of the 1962 April Fair, and in Madrid where he was proclaimed winner of San Isidro the same year, achieving the only Puerta Grande of his career.
The aforementioned Aragonese goring was the most serious of all he received throughout his career, marked by mishaps: he suffered 14 goring, of which eight were serious, such as Bilbao in 1957, Seville and Salamanca in 58, Pamplona in 1960 or Zaragoza in 62 -his best year since he was injured at the end of the season with 79 walk-ins made-, among others.
In recent years he had to face the most feared irons such as Miura or Pablo-Romero.
His last triumphant season was 1968, then he continued with passion, courage and his fighter spirit until 1980. He was a bullfighter with great courage, they called him "Jaime Corazón de León" for his ability to excel.
On the street, he was a controversial character, without mincing words.
