Running with the BULLS !!!
PAMPLONA, Spain — One elderly thrill-seeker was gored in a leg and
five others slightly injured as thousands of adrenaline-fueled runners
raced ahead of six fighting bulls in the streets of the northern Spanish
city of Pamplona in the first running of the bulls of this year's San
Fermin festival, officials said Saturday.
Runners, in traditional white clothing and red kerchiefs around their
necks, tripped over each other or fell in the mad daredevil annual rush
along early morning dew-moistened slippery streets to the city's bull
ring.
One youth got the top of his shirt and kerchief caught on a
bull's horn, inches from his face, and was dragged several yards
(meters) along the ground, but was seen to get up and run away.
The gored runner, a 73-year-old Pamplona resident, was taken to a
local hospital and five others were treated for cuts and bruises, the
regional government of the province of Navarre said in a statement.
