Airman Dies After Falling from Rafters During Football Game, On Video - TMZ

A member of the Air Force has died from his injuries after he fell while attempting to rappel from the rafters of the Alamodome during a pregame demonstration before UTSA's football game against Navy on Saturday, the Air Force said. Nellis Air Force Base Public Affairs issued a statement saying the service member, who was assigned to the 6th Combat Training Squadron, Detachment 2, was injured at the stadium and died at a local hospital. The incident is under investigation. The Air Force base did not release the service member's identity. As part of a pregame ceremony for UTSA's annual Salute to Armed Forces & Veterans game, four officers were set to rappel down to the field 15 minutes before kickoff. The officer appeared to lose control while descending, sliding down the line and crashing to the turf. Medical personnel immediately attended to the officer, and he was taken from the Alamodome on a stretcher and transported to the hospital. "We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at the start of tonight's game," UTSA said in a statement.

PROVO, Utah -- The Big 12 says one second should have been placed back on the clock at the end of Saturday night's Notre Dame-BYU game, which would have given the Fighting Irish one final play to win. Big 12 officials ruled the game had ended after Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr threw incomplete to Jaden Greathouse in the end zone, giving No. 8 BYU a 28-24 victory. But replays showed the ball hit the ground with one second remaining, which would have given No. 2 Notre Dame another play on second down. "Following the Big 12's review of the final play of Saturday's Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew," the Big 12 said in a statement. "The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games. "Since Notre Dame is an FBS independent, its games are officiated by the leagues of its opponent. Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman appeared to take issue with a non-pass interference call against BYU cornerback Evan Johnson but was not asked about a clock issue, describing the final play as "chaos.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone each had a goal and an assist, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Saturday night for their first victory this season. Philadelphia (1-6-3) opened with nine consecutive losses, a franchise record. Michkov set up Martone with a nifty pass to the far post, and Martone tapped in his second goal this season at 9:03 of the second period to tie the score 1-all. Martone returned the favor on a power play late in the period, firing a shot toward the net that Ottawa goalie Linus Ullmark stopped. But the rebound went right to Michkov, who snapped home his fourth goal of the season at 18:33. It was the 50th career goal for Michkov in 171 games. He became the fastest Flyers player to reach the milestone since Matt Read in 2014. Trevor Zegras added an empty-net goal with 14 seconds left in the third to seal it. Philadelphia scored three goals for the first time this season after entering the game with just 11 total in its first nine games. Dan Vladar made 25 saves for the Flyers. Drake Batherson scored Ottawa's goal on a 2-on-1 in the first period, one-timing a pass from ex-Flyer Claude Giroux past Vladar.

At 93, Emma Maria Mazzenga still gets the jitters before a race. "On race day, I'm very tense," she said. "People ask to interview me, and I tell them: Don't come near me until I've run. "Over the last four decades, Mazzenga has won 11 world titles, 31 European championships and 115 Italian races. She currently holds the 200-metre world record in the women's over-90 category: 50.33 seconds, set in 2024, when she was 91. Now she is giving scientists a rare look at just how much of the physical decline we associate with aging may not actually be inevitable. Mazzenga ran as a university student in Padua, in northern Italy. She then stopped for three decades while she taught high school biology and raised two children, largely on her own after her husband died. In 1986, when she was 53, the president of her old university running club rounded up former athletes for the growing field of masters competitions, for those over age 35. "One by one, my friends quit," she said. "I kept going. "In this 2024 file photo, a then-90-year-old Mazzenga shows her membership card for the Italian Athletics Federation, ahead of a race in San Biagio di Callalta, Italy. It shows her birthdate: Aug. 1, 1933
