Reactions to England winning Women's Euros
England striker Chloe Kelly
I am so proud of this team. So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English.
England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton
This team is unbelievable. Incredible. We can show we can come back from 1-0. I lost track of what was going on in that shootout, as soon as I saw her run off I knew we had won.
UK Prime minister Keir Starmer:
Champions! Congratulations Lionesses — what a team. What a game. What drama. You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan
You've made London, and the entire nation, incredibly proud. It's coming home. An amazing team, an amazing tournament! So proud of the Lionesses for another history-making performance on the world stage. Their heart, grit and determination has inspired a new generation.
Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez
Champions, always. Our Women's Spanish Football team, an example and pride of Spain - REUTERS

German Olympic champion Dahlmeier seriously injured in Pakistan mountaineering accident
PESHAWAR: German biathlete and double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier has been seriously injured after being struck by a rockfall while attempting to summit a 6,094-metre peak in northern Pakistan, a provincial government spokesperson and a Pakistani climbing federation said on Tuesday. The accident occurred on Monday when Dahlmeier was hit by a landslide in Hushe Valley in the northern mountain range in Gilgit-Baltistan province, said spokesperson Faizullah Faraq, adding that bad weather meant a helicopter had been unable to reach the site. The rescue operation is underway with the cooperation of the Pakistan army, Faraq added. The incident occurred around noon on July 28, at an altitude of approximately 5,700 meters at Laila Peak, said Alpine Club of Pakistan, a National Mountaineering and Sport Climbing Federation. Dahlmeier, 31, was climbing with her mountaineering partner, Marina Eva, when a sudden rockfall hit her, resulting in significant injuries, it said in a statement. Its vice president Karrar Haidri said Dahlmeier was seriously injured. Dahlmeier retired from the sport in 2019, aged 25, a year after becoming the first female biathlete to achieve a sprint and pursuit double at the same Olympics. Her management did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment from Reuters. Germany's ZDF broadcaster said that a helicopter overflight on Tuesday had found no signs of life. The country's northern mountainous regions have experienced heavy flooding and landslides, killing several local tourists during the current monsoon spell of rains. Flooding and other rain-related accidents have killed 288 people in Pakistan since the monsoon season began in late June, says the country's National Disaster Management Authority.--REUTERS

Sokolowski-Imagn Images (Reuters) -Top seeds Alexander Zverev of Germany and American Coco Gauff advanced to the third round of the Canadian Open on Tuesday after both players were pushed hard by their opponents. World number three Zverev, playing in his first match since his first-round loss at Wimbledon, was far from his best but emerged with a 7-6(6) 6-4 win over Adam Walton under the lights in Toronto. Momentum shifted firmly in Zverev's favour when he won a 52-shot rally in the first set tiebreak, and he sealed the win on a double fault by the Australian in the second set. "It was a very important moment, very important point for me," Zverev said. "Lucky to get through in the first set and finish it off in two." Zverez said he did not play his "prettiest" match but was proud of how he battled after taking a break from the game following his early Wimbledon exit. "I took some time off, which I needed also for myself. I'm happy to be playing again," he added. Zverev next plays 32nd seed Matteo Arnaldi on Thursday. On the women's side, top seed Gauff was two points from defeat but battled back to beat fellow American Danielle Collins 7-5 4-6 7-6(2) in a nearly three-hour battle to reach the third round. French Open champion Gauff overcame 23 double faults and 74 unforced errors to beat Collins in their first career meeting. "I was practicing well and I don't think I transferred it today, but hopefully I got my bad match of the tournament out of the way," Gauff said. Several top players withdrew ahead of the Masters and WTA 1000 tournament including world number ones Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper.
