"So many people yelling at you in so many different languages. The stress, the tension is so high and the bulls are coming in, it felt like two seconds, it was probably like a minute when I actually had the bulls running by me, but it felt so quick, like that, like I blinked and it was gone. It's amazing, incredible, one of the best experiences I've ever had."

STORYLINE:
The first bull run in three years at the San Fermín festival in the Spanish city of Pamplona took place early Thursday.
No one was gored, but several runners endured knocks and hard falls as tens of thousands partygoers reveled in the return of one of Europe's most famous traditional events.
The six bulls guided by six tame oxen charged through Pamplona's streets in around 2 minutes, 35 seconds without provoking too much carnage among the thousands of people cramming the course.
Ryan Ward, an American tourist from San Diego said it was one of the best experiences he had ever had.
"I feel like I need to cry, it's just so many emotions built up in me," he said.
Several runners were stomped, trampled or shoved to the cobblestone pavement.
At least two men were smacked in the head by the broadside of a horn, but none suffered a skewering.
The Pamplona hospital said that six people needed to be brought in for treatment.
Those included a 30-year-old American man who fractured the radius and ulna of his left arm and one 16-year-old Spanish girl who lost a part of a finger in the bull ring, where a pile up of runners occurred just in its entry point.
The other four injured were Spanish men between 19 and 45 years old.
This was the first of eight early morning bull runs that are followed by massive drinking, eating and attending cultural events for the rest of the day.
Eight people were gored during the last festival in 2019 before the pandemic. Sixteen people have died in the bull runs since 1910. The last death occurred in 2009.
The bulls that run each morning are killed in bullfights in the afternoon by professional bullfighters.
