World No. 1 James de los Santos continued with his winning ways as he pocketed three gold medals in a span of five days to improve his collection to 18 this year in the E-Kata tournaments.
The 30-year-old de los Santos ruled the third leg of the Budva Winner-Adria Cup last May 5, and last Sunday he topped the first edition of the Euro Grand Prix and the fourth leg of the Katana Inter-Continental League.
Overall, the former national team member now has a total of 54 gold medals won since he joined the online meets last April 2020 when face-to-face events here and abroad were prohibited because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
