Running of the bulls "disappointingly slow" this year

Running of the bulls injures 100 in Pamplona

An Australian gored in the thigh was among to 100 people injured when the annual running of the bulls got under way in Spain yesterday.

The identity and condition of the injured Australian was not immediately released.

The 36-year-old was speared in the buttocks and had to undergo emergency surgery, rescue services said.

Five other participants in the bull run were also hospitalised.

The first running of the bulls at the nine-day Los San Fermines festival was delayed for more than five minutes because of huge crowds.

I guess there's always tomorrow to try for a better time.
