I see that
El País is making available the daily (or at least today's) run in audio. You can hear today's taped-delay run @

Pamplona Bulls Gore Runners in Spanish FestivalJul 7, 7:40 am ET
By Daniel Flynn
PAMPLONA, Spain (Reuters) - Pamplona's running of the bulls, the annual Spanish festival in which six bulls and thousands of people gallop through narrow cobblestone streets, left six people including three foreigners injured Sunday.
Sunday's run was the first of eight in the annual San Fermin festival with bull runs every July 7-14, a spectacle made famous by Ernest Hemingway's 1927 novel "Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises."
Doctors said an American woman, Elinzey Sain, 19, from Kansas and an Australian, Luke Versace, 19, were being treated at a hospital outside Pamplona. Both were gored in the leg.
Londoner Paul Staines, 37, received a blow to the face, the hospital said.
About a million people are estimated to have descended on Pamplona in northern Spain, but prospects of violence by the Basque separatist group ETA put something of a damper on the party.
Tensions have been high this year amid a crackdown by Spain's center-right government against ETA, which has killed 800 people since 1968, and the Batasuna party that Madrid brands as ETA's political wing.
Television commentators called Sunday's run unusually dangerous because several bulls became separated from the herd.
Several of the bulls slipped on the dew-covered streets and fell, drawing out the run to more seven minutes, about twice the duration of a clean run.
Thousands of people, many fortified by liquid courage from all-night drinking, run part of the course in which six bulls and six steer gallop 902 yards from a corral to a bull ring.
Sunday's bulls weighed from 1,133 to 1,408 pounds. They face near-certain death in the afternoon bullfight.
Thirteen people have been killed in the running of the bulls since 1900, the last a young American man in 1995.
The American woman and a Spanish man who was gored, Jose Maria Perez Hernandez, 22, were the most seriously injured on Sunday, according to a statement from the Navarre regional government. Two other Spaniards received less serious injuries.

Is it my imagination or are the injured most-often English-speakers from the USA, England, and Australia??! I guess we just drink more (¡¡BORRRRRRRACHOS!!) than do the Spaniards or other nationalities.
AS stated above, there was one Spanish man hurt (from Navalcarnero-a VERY nice little town outside of Madrid) as well as his supposed girlfriend from the USA.
HEY!! I JUST found this website (Sorry if it's been posted before....): Looks GREAT!!
