CAYETANORIVERA & PETRANEMCOVA Without fear to the sand By Fruela Zubizarreta. Photos: Juan Aldabaldetrecu. This is the history of an encounter swims coincidental in which, nevertheless, all the were given ingredients to be able to affirm that was a matter of a blind date. In the story of this day of beach –al rhythm of clouds and clearly, with epilogue of spring storm– not a speech will prevail that betray the truth. We were not witnesses of the first contact between a man and a woman after years of epistolary passion, as do neither we call them to give form to a hypothetical presentation in company as rutilante couple of the universe celebrity. The certain thing is that neither she neither he were known until ELLE proposed them to star in the front of this number. Once more, the destiny wanted to intertwine the threads indicated to give form to this lace. With the very good-looking one Cayetano Rivera –elected by ours reading, by overwhelming majority, Spanish more attraction of the globe– we carried time weighing the somewhat special possibility of doing. As for the spectacular Czech model Petra Nemcova, we wanted reencontrarnos with her by so many occasions in which we work together and to give him a hug –or three kisses, like she is accustomed– after the very hard blow that the life gave in Christmas of 2004, when the tsunami of Thailand was carried its boyfriend while she was grasped to the life in the high thing of a palm tree with the Broken pelvis. The time cures the injuries and today the sea is in calm. We jump to the sand to celebrate the happiness of the life with these two brave whose interior worlds coincide a lot more than what goatish to expect. Of Cayetano –heir of the noblest lineages bullfighters of this kingdom: Ordóñez, Rivera, Dominguín... and, therefore, codiciadísimo object of desire of the social chronicle– calls powerfully the attention its incredible green look, its unconscious poses of majestic bullfighter when is abstracted looking at al horizon, its careful education and –to the extent that advances the day– its charming and disarming naturalness. Who said timid? Perhaps he were he does it already more than two years, when he decided to step the same sand in which they had done history theirs. But after their symbolic and very media alternative of the past September –in the fiftieth anniversary of the Goyaesque one of Round, in Malaga– we have the duty to speak of a new man, insurance of all and each one of the decisions that have brought him to here. The step to become bullfighter did not arrive, but by luck I am not of the ones that they remain with the doubt" "The stereotype of classical bullfighter is there and one must respect it. I have proposed me to change nothing" THE most DIFFICULT STEP "I Grew in a world of bullfighters without presenting me that that that for me was so normal turned out to be extraordinary for the others. Al to mature I understood from where do I proceed; of a dynasty that, beyond being dedicated to this art, is the same history of the bullfighting. When it was an I raise wanted to continue the steps of my father; and it had been all the same to me that were architect, painter or banker... It wanted to be like he and to do of my favorite play, and of that of my brother, a profession. But the final step never arrived. Did not it throw pa' lante neither to that of three. Al final, fortunately, the uncertainty of the "¿what would have passed yes. ..?” was able more. I am not of the ones that they remain with the doubt", qualifies the son of Francisco Rivera and Carmen Ordóñez while Petra observes him with a smile of curiosity trying to decipher the keys that activate the passion of its companion. Sparkles. They are five drops. Two of rain and three of chemistry. The electricity is in the air and to the ten components of the team ELLE that we give form to this production escapes itself us the satisfaction. They are radiant! OF THE DREAM TO THE REALITY months ago that Cayetano to stopped being a promise to transform into a brilliant reality next to who the good luck walks. Consequently, it has elapsed the sufficient time to analyze serenely the type of beating that prompted its heart the indelible day of its début. "Me there is side a lot to synthesize everything that I lived. I remember my isolation in the room, preparing me mentally, submerging me in which approached. And, then, the emotion of the arrival al patio of squads, when I saw the faces of my brother and of the master one Espartaco, that they had neither been able to sleep. See me there was incredible, almost surrealist. It was a bunch of nerves until, suddenly, the moment of the truth arrived, that in which all returns relative and you should give the best of you. At last was starring in the great dream of my life". Petra begins to understand. But... What signifies for this youth the word tradition? It is conscious that in it is identified to a new generation of bullfighters fully prepared... with languages, gift of peoples, a lot of world and the sufficient sensibility as for, for example, to enjoy any artistic expression? "For me tradition signifies respect. That by some things to the ones that I dedicate me [studied movies in The Angels, collects pictures, is image of some firms of luxury –as the line of suits in proportion to Giorgio Armani or the clocks Victorinox Swiss Army–, administers like nobody its public apparitions. ..] respond not al typical profile that him is assumed to a bullfighter; but in everything that I do always the maximum respect prevails by Profession". How would you explain to Petra what signifies to be a bullfighter? “¡Hombre! Is difficult. In general, would tell him that the great majority of the people does not know the essence of this vocation; even here, in Spain... It would speak him of force, of emotions, of the adrenaline that itself unlike when an animal of 500 kilograms load against you and you do you with the control of the situation, in such a way that manage to stop it and even to touch it. I believe that any alien person to this world would be able to arrive at aficionarse if someone explains him the essence of the bullfighting as he is owed". And what do you tell me of the bullfighter cool that carry inside? The profession sees you as to a rare bug? "Each one is different. In character, in technique, in which transmits... The stereotype of classical bullfighter is there and one must respect it. I have proposed me to change nothing. With being coherent with my own decisions I have sufficient". One must learn of the past, to look at toward the future and to live the present." PETRA They SEEMED REASONABLE The session of photos advances to rhythm of cruiser. The electricity continues intact. Petra and Cayetano are comfortable and, for moments, they transmit certain sensation to be known of all the life. What unites them so much? Perhaps that both, she with 28 years and he with 30, they have learned to value it real important of the life by dint of drinking some that another bitter pill. When Petra convalesced in the hospital after the tragedy of the tsunami –with the immense challenge to assume that to their boy had swallowed itself it the sea, the broken hip in four parts and the legs tied to avoid hemorrhages– an agency came offer a fortune to whom to obtain that photo. Nevertheless, she took the initiative and distributed free an image to the press. What remains of those bad moments? "Before, the small details that do of the somewhat marvelous life they passed before me almost unnoticed. We live mortgaged by stock that ourselves have ourselves complicated and us does not interest to see the suffering of the others. At times has to pass somewhat terrible so that we change our scale values and we know to thank so much as we have. We are not conscious of the fortunate thing that we are, that we include the immense privilege to be able to elect; something with what the majority of the inhabitants of this planet not nor to dream –explains Petra while Cayetano assents respectful–. The death of Simon [her boyfriend] destroyed me. But I discovered that I he was not as weak as he believed and that included a great interior force that he has helped me to leave the desperation. He is a matter of learning to listen the voice of your instincts to hit upon the correct road, although at times this be more long and painful. Only when you finalize that trip can affirm that have reached certain maturity". he surgery has helped many people to surpass complexes and to be happier. If I need it some day, I will utilize it." THE FEET IN THE most beautiful SAND and requested that never, the supermodelo Czech shares with us the reflection that now guide its existence: "It learns of the past, sight toward the future, but lives in the present appreciating everything that surrounds you". Cayetano enters al remove and reinforces the sentence: "At times, unfortunately, you have to pass for a tragedy or to see you in a very difficult moment to fall in the account of what really is worthwhile. Al the same as Petra, I am learning to value each detail and each moment, because mine is a profession of risk. Therefore I do not pay attention to the noises of fund". A distant thunder announces storm. The sea breathes tranquil. Cayetano and Petra say good-bye, barefoot and brave, on the sand. CHOSEN FOR THE GLORY Of everything that they have said of this new bullfighter, ¿what has arrived him al soul? "What more I value, what fuller, is the recognition of the professionals of the bullfighting. Then, of course, they are the public and the own bull, that also remove or they put". Summarizing? "What would not know to tell you", justifies uncomfortable. You be not modest. Silence... but nothing... A good friend aims: "Flashy Romero said that Cayetano was touched by the hand of God".
