Marta Jiménez, Spanish TV star known as ‘Adrenaline Woman' dies in horror base jumping accident
A famous TV presenter has died in a horrific base jumping accident. Marta Jiménez, 34, better known as 'Adrenaline Woman', was a much-loved TV personality who was known for her on-screen energy and desire to seek thrilling adventures. Something that her chat show colleagues insist will live on in her memory. Ms Jiménez worked on the popular chat show El Hormiguero, which translates to 'The Anthill', which brought excitement to the living rooms of millions of viewers across Spain. On Sunday, at around 10.30am, she went base jumping in the Chistau Valley, near the north-eastern city of Huesca, The Sun reported. However, the expedition went horribly wrong, and Ms Jiménez had an accident - the exact details of which are not yet known. Rescue teams acted swiftly, but there was nothing they could do to save her. A helicopter was called to the scene where they found Ms Jiménez but tragically, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Ms Jiménez's body was then transported to Legal Medicine in Huesca for a post-mortem. Pablo Motos, the host of the show, emotionally spoke out and said, 'Marta has left us, the adrenaline woman, she lost her life doing what she loved most.' The horrific news has shaken the team behind the show as well as its audience. Ms Jiménez was very popular with her segment being a favourite of the viewers as she was an energetic force on TV, who was well-known for celebrating each completed challenge with shouts of joy. One of her most memorable moments, which still is a highlight for many of the viewers, was in October last year when Ms Jiménez jumped from a crane at more than 197ft (60m) high. This hair-raising stunt was mentioned in Mr Moto's tribute post on Instagram, which read: 'Marta is gone. The adrenaline lady. She lost her life doing what she loved most. We are devastated. But our feeling of powerlessness and our sadness will not prevent us from remembering her when she screamed for joy for having achieved something impossible. I share with you, through tears, one of those moments.' Thousands of Ms Jiménez fans commented on the social media post, paying their respect and expressing the shock of the tragic event that had unfolded. Another replied to the post saying, 'In shock, fly high'.

Mexico Win 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup After Stunning Comeback Against USA
Rana Atef Mexico's national football team claimed the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup title for the tenth time in its history, after pulling off a thrilling comeback victory over the United States. The final, held in the early hours of Monday at NRG Stadium in Houston, saw Mexico overturn an early deficit to win 2-1. Chris Richards opened the scoring for the United States in the 4th minute, giving the home side a quick lead. However, Mexico responded with determination and equalized in the 27th minute through Raúl Jiménez. After scoring, Jiménez celebrated by honoring his late former teammate, Diogo Jota, who recently passed away in a tragic accident. Prior to the match, Jiménez wore a jersey bearing the number 20 and Jota's name, as a tribute to their time together at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where they formed a memorable attacking duo over two seasons in the English Premier League. Gol de México!!! De mi Raul Jiménez de toda la vida 💪🏼 #DiogoJota #usavsmexico #MexicoVsUSA #CopaOro #MexicoPorLaCopa #rj9 — maldito Edgar (@maldito_edgar) July 6, 2025 Mexico completed their comeback in the 78th minute when Edson Álvarez netted the second goal, securing the victory and the championship title. The United States lineup included: Matt Freese, Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Tim Ream, Max Arfsten, Tyler Adams, Luca de la Torre, Sebastian Berhalter, Malik Tillman, Diego Luna, and Patrick Agyemang. This historic win reinforces Mexico's status as the most successful team in Gold Cup history, now with ten titles to their name. The team is currently led by Javier Aguirre, former head coach of the Egypt national team. Mexico reached the final after a narrow 1–0 win over Honduras in the semifinals. The victory also served as revenge for Mexico, who had lost to the United States in each of their previous four finals across CONCACAF competitions. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Alvarez's tiebreaking goal gives Mexico 2-1 win over U.S. for 10th Gold Cup title
HOUSTON (AP) — Edson Álvarez scored a tiebreaking goal in the 77th minute after a video review reversed an offside call, and Mexico beat the United States 2-1 on Sunday night for its record 10th CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Chris Richards put the U.S. ahead in the fourth minute, heading in a Sebastian Berhalter free kick for the second time in the tournament, but Raúl Jiménez tied the score in the 27th with his third goal of this Gold Cup. Mexico was awarded the free kick when Diego Luna fouled Alexis Vega on a flank. Johan Vásquez flicked the restart across the goalmouth and Álvarez burst past the defence, redirecting the ball from three yards just inside Matt Freese's far post. While the play was initially called offside, the goal was awarded by the VAR, and Mexico defended its title from 2023 while improving to 6-2 in Gold Cup finals against the U.S. Patrick Agyemang had a chance two minutes into stoppage time but he didn't make good contact on his short-range shot that was blocked by goalkeeper Luis Malagón. 'We're disappointed obviously to not come away with a win,' U.S. captain Tim Ream said. A sellout crowd of 70,925 at NRG Stadium was about 70 per cent pro-Mexico and booed U.S. players when they walked out for pre-game warm-ups. Mexico dominated with 60 per cent possession and had 12 corner kicks to none for the Americans. This was the final competitive match for the U.S. and Mexico before co-hosting next year's World Cup with Canada. The U.S., which has seven Gold Cup titles but none since 2021, used a starting lineup with only a handful of players currently projected as World Cup starters, missing regulars due to vacation, injuries and the Club World Cup. Coach Mauricio Pochettino used their absence to evaluate players who could push for starting jobs during the friendlies this fall and next spring, and Luna, Agyemang and Freese emerged as contenders for World Cup roster spots. Richards put the U.S. in front when he headed Berhalter's free kick from about 40 yards off the crossbar. The ball bounced straight down and just crossed the goal line. Jiménez scored his 42nd international goal, third-most in Mexican history. He burst past the defence and one-timed the pass from Marcel Ruiz, beating Freese from about 10 yards on a shot that might have nicked Ream. Jiménez celebrated by grabbing a Mexico No. 20 jersey with 'DIOGO J' in honour of Diogo Jota, his former Wolverhampton teammate who died in a car crash Thursday in Spain. Jiménez ran to a corner, sat down with the jersey and mimicked playing a video game. ___ AP soccer:
