• Fourth confinement Blows, pushes, falls and attacks with the bulls of La Palmosilla

  • Third confinement The cattle of Escolar leave the first goring of the festivities

Running the bull run of San Fermín is not just anything, although it may seem like it.

And run it with Cebada Gago bulls, even less so.

And today it has been proven.

Again.

The medical report speaks of at least three injuries from bull horns: one in a leg in the Telefónica area and another two in the plaza, one in the left leg and one in the right.

The confinement has been for experts from the first meters.

They have forgotten about the halters and have decided to take the lead, open the group at full speed and look for the runners who dared to get in their way.

Nothing to accompany like little lambs, but a terrible gallop to Mercaderes, launching defeats everywhere, catching many of the young men off guard, who didn't even know where the attacks were coming from.

This is how it has reached the Estafeta curve, where two brown bulls and one black have collided violently against the fence.

La Estafeta has started with one bull ahead and four behind, the herd very open, although without the possibility of taking advantage of the rosary of bulls to run due to the high speed.

From behind, another from Cebada Gago accompanied by a halter.

Short but very intense races.

Halfway through the Estafeta, everything has begun to get complicated.

Some slips of young men and bulls have further broken the herd.

Several runners have been overwhelmed by the high speed of the barleys, almost one by one.

On arrival at Telefónica, with the more temperate bulls, the looks to the sides, the threats to the fences and the attacks have arrived.

One of the bulls has decided to turn around before entering the alley.

There he has rammed a couple of runners and then several have collided with him.

Two other bulls have arrived and have literally swallowed several young men.

It was not known who attacked whom.

There has been a goring here.

When the two chestnuts have entered the bullring, they have begun to give the typical turn around the ring and one of them has galloped towards the boards, where he has brutally charged a young man, with whom he has been merciless.

With the other python he has pierced the twin of another boy.

And he has not released the prey until he has managed to get into the burladero.

From behind, the last bull of Cebada Gago has arrived very loose, very stopped, with slips and looks from the last part of the Estafeta.

There have been threats to several young men, some a little out of place, although those who have finally pulled the animal have been some of the most common in this area, the ones who move best with the loose bulls.

Finally, three minutes in which there has been everything, but above all emotion, risk... and blood.

Today's poster.

The Cebada Gago cattle will be fought by Juan Leal, Román and Colombo.
