Well done, Mexico City.

Now about those bullfights...

This was in Spain, but the Bull won this round.

"Three matadors were gruesomely injured by bulls and taken away by ambulances during a major bullfight in Madrid on May 20. As a result of the incidents, the San Isidro festival was suspended for the first time in 35 years, reports the BBC."
