Beautiful 'flight' of the Cebadas that gored a runner in Estafeta street

 

The Chronicle of the Encierro. 10/07/2006.

The running of the Cebada ranch started to rush in a spectacular way because of the open spaces in the streets with less people than the days before during the course, and the animals were in a hurry from the beginning to get the arena in only two minutes. The sixth bull of the herd was left behind alone very soon and had to complete the 825 meters surrounded of runners, but without danger, and got the corrals in 2 minutes and 33 seconds time.

 

F.J.P.B. was the only gored in the encierro. He was injured in his left thigh at the first part of Estafeta street, where the herd ran in line of five bulls and an ox very fast from the Santo Domingo street.

 

Finally, the last bull came into the bullring alone, but surrounded of many people. It didn't gore any runner but made a lot of anxiety among the public in the bullring because it ran around without take the dobladores advices.

BEHAVIOUR IN THE ENCIERRO

This ranch comes back to Pamplona after eleven years. The last three were clean and fast encierros, with only two gored, both in 1992. Now, the danger is coming from the big and sharp horns of all of the six bulls, and because three of them are almost white, so they could look like leading ox.

 

July 14th 1994. There wasn't any goring, but the bull ran had very dangerous moments, like when the herd cornered a young man against the wooden barrier in Mercaderes Street . The lucky runner got out of danger unhurt. From then up to the bullring, the encierro was exciting and splendid with the bulls dispersed all over the route.
