The bulls fight back! Three matadors are gored as 'World Series' bull fight is cancelled for first time in 35 years

[*]Three matadors lost to bulls in the 12th corrida of the Fiesta de San Isidro
[*]Madrid festival was dubbed 'the World Series of bullfighting' by Hemingway
[*]One required emergency surgery, the others were less badly hurt



'Bullfighting is not a sport. It was never supposed to be. It is a tragedy ... The tragedy is the death of the bull.'
So wrote Ernest Hemingway after he witnessed his first bullfight as a reporter in Spain. But three bulls yesterday turned the tables on their killers.
They challenged their own ritual slaughter - and won.

Well yeah.
The sport is bull "fighting".
The bull obviously has a chance of winning otherwise there would be no point.
