Chaotic and dangerous debut of the Álvaro Núñez cattle ranch in the third running of the bulls
Watch the third San Fermín running of the bulls live, with the latest news on today's events in Pamplona.
The ring is filled with young people and others combing their hair for the heifers. There's a lot of danger from the first, named Andrea, who deals out blows left and right. Tremendous somersaults, with a very hard and worrying one: a man remains motionless in the sand, between the 1st and 2nd, right in the area where the bulls enter the alley. A commotion of young people gather around him, who support him by the stirrup to keep the cow from getting too close. Finally, he is handed over to the Red Cross, who transport him on a stretcher to the infirmary. Several attendants are injured, including one who is treated for a blow to the forehead. There are very dangerous moments with Andrea, who struggles to return to the pens along with the substitute Jalisco. Reported by: Rosario Pérez
This Thursday, the Victoriano del Río bulls return to Pamplona, a classic that has been running for 14 years in San Fermín.
And after confinement, you have to replenish your energy and there's nothing like a good lunch.

One more prayer to San Fermín and everyone is ready to run.

Many young people are beginning to be seen praying and having moments of recollection before the bull run.
The waiters are already taking positions because there are only 10 minutes left until the bull run begins.
While the nerves of the runners begin to surface before the imminent running of the bulls, the bulls that, being from Álvaro Núñez, are expected to be noble and fast, await in the corrals.
The highest authority of the running of the bulls is already present, after his commendable work yesterday with the lagging bull of Cebada Gago, the shepherds return to the scene so that the entire running of the bulls runs normally and without danger for the bulls or the young men.
The Saint is already being placed in his niche, yes, on his walk to his location on the Cuesta de Santo Domingo, many hands have approached him to touch him and ask for his protection.
Daily morning walk by municipal authorities to check that all downtown businesses and entrances are closed and that everything is in order ahead of the third San Fermín bull run.

On July 9, 2010, a record number of runners in a running of the bulls was set. It was estimated that more than 15,000 people crowded the different sections of the route, the highest turnout recorded. Report: Ángel González Abad
The officers are preparing to sweep the streets of the center so that no one is left unaware and only the runners wait.
Those were the first words to TVE from the man who was gored yesterday, who admits that he will see the San Fermin festival differently in the coming days.
Compared to yesterday, the streets are less crowded, and with fewer people, the danger is also reduced.
The young man who was gored in the armpit yesterday has already been discharged and his desire for Sanfermines has not ended because today he is already in the center
The pile-ups of young men frequently occur in the alley at the entrance to the plaza, where the route narrows from the last stretch before the bullring to the ring. However, in 2004, also on July 9, the pile-up occurred on the same Cuesta de Santo Domingo, just a few meters from the exit of the corrals. Many young men fell to the ground and caused a traffic jam, resulting in injuries of varying severity to more than thirty people. Report: Ángel González Abad
The day has dawned cold in Pamplona, where the thermometer is at 12 degrees.

July 9th is considered a "cursed" day by bullfighting experts due to the gorings and mishaps that have occurred on this day throughout history. Two fatalities, in 1975 and 1980, and more than sixty injuries from bull horns occurred during the third Pamplona bull run. Reported by Ángel González Abad
The bulls from the Alvaro Núñez ranch make their debut today at the Pamplona Bull Fair, although this team is a direct result of the Núñez del Cuvillo ranch, which has experience in the running of the bulls. This is the first morning for this ranch, which will complement the San Fermin bullfight's star lineup in the afternoon. Morante de la Puebla and Roca Rey, with the young Tomás Rufo as the third bullfighter, have generated the greatest excitement for this afternoon. Report: Ángel González Abad
