The third running of the bulls in this year’s San Fermin festival in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona produced no gorings and only a few minor injuries yesterday, officials said.
The initial medical report included just two requests for medical treatment from knocks received during the clean and quick bull run, Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba said.
Neither of the two patients had serious injuries, hospital spokesman Tomas Belzunegui said.

“It was a tranquil bull run,” Belzunegui said.
Over the first two days of the festival, five people — four Americans and a Spaniard — were gored during the daily bull runs. None were life-threatening injuries.
The bulls from the Puerto de San Lorenzo ranch, which debuted at the festival, yesterday completed the 850m cobbled-street course in 2 minutes, 22 seconds. That is well under the average of three minutes for the run.
A brown bull named “Huracan” or Hurricane, broke away early and sped ahead through the parting crowds of runners, several of whom barely dodged its swinging horns.
Huracan came close to catching a runner when it hooked a horn in the pant leg of a young man entering the bullring, lifting him along the wall before dragging him for a few meters. The man apparently escaped unscathed.
The nine-day San Fermin fiesta attracts tens of thousands of partygoers from Spain and abroad.
It was popularized by Nobel Literature laureate Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.

Arne Slot has denied that Darwin Nunez was dropped from Liverpool’s win against West Ham because of a training-ground row with a member of his coaching staff. The Liverpool head coach on Sunday last week said that Nunez was absent from the 2-1 victory at Anfield, having felt unwell during training the day before, although the striker sat behind the substitutes throughout the game. Speculation has been rife that the Uruguay international, whom Slot criticized for his work rate against Wolves and Aston Villa in February, was left out for disciplinary reasons. Asked on Friday to clarify the situation, Slot said: “He
In-form teenager Mirra Andreeva on Thursday crashed out of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Germany, after going down in straight sets to fellow Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova in the last 16.
