As usual, I find myself at a safe distance in the sofa every morning at 8 and cross our fingers on the Bulls. There are many full of tourists who get into trouble every year. It may actually be a game with death ...

July 14: The eighth and final peak for this year was fast and clean and was a worthy conclusion to the San Fermínfiestan. At 2 minutes and 37 seconds it was over and the bulls from the Nunez del Cubillo left the bullring. No person was injured by the bulls today, however, had five taken to hospital.
July 13: Today's rush hour went pretty quickly, in 2 minutes and 52 seconds. The mythical bulls from Miura's left no tjurrusare damaged behind him, however, were seven people with other types of damage to the hospital. It was packed with people on the streets.
July 12: The sixth current peak lasted for 3 minutes and 2 seconds. As always, the weekend was the extraordinary amount of people who ran beside the bulls from Dolores Aguirre. Nevertheless, only a reportable damaged.
July 11: Today's rush hour took almost exactly the same time as yesterday, 2 minutes and 36 seconds. Jandilla-Bulls did, however, left with a person who needed to be taken to hospital.
10 July: Bull rush of day four was just like yesterday fast and clean (rapido y limpio). At 2 minutes and 30 seconds had the six bulls and two bulls from breeders Cebada Gago end rush through Pamplona streets.
9 July: The third day bull run took place without major incidents, in 3 minutes and 44 seconds it was over. However, one in Los Pastores, the shepherds, (they are the men in green polo shirts, which are equipped with control sticks bull herd towards its true goal) a fabulous turn today when he met the Bulls from the breeder Fuente Ymbro. This is the first time since I started watching the San Fermín that I've seen anything like it. He was very close to gore really, it was the sixth year he took part, and by a miracle he survived unscathed. Time after the fact, two injured.
8 July: Limpio y rapido (clean and fast), then the current bull run in Pamplona summarized. There were great expectations in the traditionally dangerous bulls from the breeder Cebada Gago, but after 2 minutes and 16 seconds was gatloppet over and everyone could relax. Four people with minor injuries are today's answers.
7 July: It was a baffled opening of San Fermín in Pamplona for the state television channel TVE first They suffered namely the errors and for the entire first minute of the first bull rush for this year was met by a test image "estamos viendo San Fermín 2008" (We look at the San Fermín 2008). Once the broadcast started, there was no sound.
It's lucky that the rival commercial channel Canal Cuatro also shows live broadcast, also run the two channels with repeats of gatloppet.
Today's rush hour was slow and at times dangerous. It took 4 minutes and 22 seconds before the last bull by the Conde de la Corte left tjurfäktningsarrenan where bull rush always ends.
The record of the first day, eight injured, of these, only one individual who has been stångad of the bulls. Most incidents are caused by congestion on the streets, there are many who fall and get trampled by other contributors.
