Mi amigo Jerry Roach posted some very interesting shots on Mundo-Taurino of Morante de la Puebla’s performance in Pamplona’s recently concluded Feria de San Fermin. I thought they were an excellent study of Morante and his Toreo, in particular his muñecazo. Gracias Jerry.

Daniel Gimeno Romero, Ultimos Momentos De Su Vida
The last moments of Daniel Gimeno Romero before he was fatally gored in the neck by Cappuccino from Jandilla. Gimeno is the mozo with the pink and brown striped rugby shirt. You can see the ring on his finger which along with a tattoo was the only method of identifying Gimeno as the goring victim.
In the second foto, you can clearly see Cappuccino charged another mozo…
bashing the mozo head to head…
as the horn entered Gimeno goring him fatally.
10/07/09 San Fermin: Un Muerto En El Encierro De Jandilla
Video below of the fatal goring of Daniel Gimeno Romero, 27. The toro from Jandilla named Cappuccino had been separated from the heard as it entered the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Cappuccino continued the run and caused moments of panic the entire route. Once in the callejon just past Telefonica, Cappuccino repeatedly turned against traffic and charged runners pinned against the barriers. The Jandilla toro ended up goring Gimeno as he attempted to seek refuge. Gimeno was gored directly in the neck. The experienced runner of six previous Ferias de San Fermin died 45 minutes after the goring. Cappuccino gored another Mozo in the Callejon (green shirt) as well as a mozo in the Ayuntamiento. Four mozo were gored in total. Parte Medico: “Presentaba una herida en la zona supraclavicular izquierda, con trayecto descendente afectando a pulmón izquierdo, aorta y cava. Ingresa en situación de paro cardiaca, pasa a quirófano y tras las maniobras de reanimación, el paciente ha fallecido”

Brindis: Torero a Torero
On Sunday June 28th in Las Ventas, Ivan Fandiño dedicated his toro to fallen Matador Israel Lancho who a month earlier received a horrific goring in the chest during the Feria de San Isidro. It was a great gesture to acknowledge Lancho’s recovery and desire to return to the ring.
