VIDEO SHOWS: SCREENSHOT OF STATEMENT FROM BOCA JUNIORS ON THEIR X ACCOUNT ON COACH MIGUEL ANGEL RUSSO'S DEATH / SCREENSHOT OF TRIBUTE FROM RIVER PLATE POSTED ON THEIR X ACCOUNT / FILE FOOTAGE OF RUSSO  COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW STORY: Boca Juniors coach Miguel Angel Russo died on Wednesday (October 8) at the age of 69 after a long battle with cancer, the club said. Russo, who was being cared for at home after several hospital stays in recent months, was forced to step down from his day-to-day management duties due to his illness. He had, however, been actively involved with the team despite his deteriorating health, maintaining close contact with his coaching colleagues and the club hierarchy. Russo had three spells in charge at Boca, leading them to the Copa Libertadores trophy in 2007 and securing the Argentine title with the club in 2020 before guiding them at the Club World Cup this year. Outside Argentina, Russo had managerial stints at Universidad de Chile, Spain’s Salamanca, Mexico’s Morelia, as well as roles at Alianza Lima, Cerro Porteno, Millonarios and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr. A former player with Estudiantes, Russo made more than 400 appearances for the club, winning two national titles. (Production: Stefan Haskins, Conal Quinn)

VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM GAME FOUR OF THE MLB AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES BETWEEN THE DETROIT TIGERS AND THE SEATTLE MARINERS  (SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW) SHOWS: DETROIT, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 8, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions before use) SEATTLE MARINERS AT DETROIT TIGERS AT COMERICA PARK – GAME FOUR OF AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (ALDS) STORY: Just when it mattered most, the Detroit Tigers' bats sprang to life Wednesday (October 8) setting up a winner-take-all showdown with the Seattle Mariners in Game 5 of the American League Division series. Riley Greene, Javier Baez and Gleyber Torres each hammered home runs to help the Tigers to a 9-3 victory over the Mariners in Game 4 of the ALDS. Baez, who homered in a postseason game for the first time since 2017, also drove in four runs as Detroit tied the series at two games apiece. The two teams square off Friday in Game 5 in Seattle with the winner of the best-of-five playoff set advancing to the AL Championship Series. Seattle had won Games 2 and 3 before the Tigers evened the series. It was the Tigers' first home victory since Sept. 6, and their nine runs were the most they've scored in a postseason game since Game 6 of the 1968 World Series. The Mariners started the scoring in the second inning when Dominic Canzone singled off of Detroit starter Casey Mize, allowing Josh Naylor to score with two outs. Mize, who allowed one run on two hits and struck out six, was pulled after only three innings and replaced by Tyler Holton, who teamed up with three other relievers to allow only two runs and six hits over the final six innings. Holton failed to record an out, loading the bases in the fourth inning. He was replaced by Kyle Finnegan, who got Victor Robles to hit into a double play, allowing Naylor to score from third and give the Mariners a 2-0 advantage. Seattle raised the lead to 3-0 in the fifth as Cal Raleigh's line-drive single to right field scored Randy Arozarena. The Tigers tied the game at 3 in the bottom of the inning as back-to-back RBI doubles by Dillon Dingler and pitch hitter Jahmai Jones scored Zach McKinstry and Dingler, respectively. Jones came home on Baez's single. Greene gave the Tigers their first lead since the 11th inning of Game 1 with his 454-feet homer off reliever Gabe Speier (0-1) in the sixth inning. McKinstry then singled to score Spencer Torkelson and push Detroit ahead 5-3. Three batters later, Baez hit his home run, scoring Wenceel Perez and raising the lead to 7-3. Torres added to the Tigers' lead with a 344-foot solo homer in the seventh inning. Baez closed the scoring in the eighth when he drove in McKinstry on a grounder. Troy Melton (1-1) gave up two hits over three scoreless innings. Seattle starter Bryce Miller gave up two runs on four hits and struck out two over 4 1/3 innings. Four Mariners relievers gave up seven runs on nine hits. (Production: David Grip) More MLB content is available on Reuters Connect here: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?sources=mlbimagen

The match, originally set for Monday at Soldier Field, will now take place a day later at Chase Stadium in Florida, home of Argentine captain Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. According to local reports, the change was prompted due to widespread protests in Chicago over U.S. immigration policies, which made it difficult to guarantee the event's security. The switch also gives the option of extending ticket sales and scheduling the match in the evening. Reuters has contacted the Argentine Football Association for comment. World champions Argentina, who have already secured their spot in next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, will also face Venezuela in a friendly on Friday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami as part of their warm-up.

SIMONE BILES ARRIVING TO GIVE A TALK TITLED (Spanish): “THE POWER OF BELIEVING” 2. VARIOUS OF ATTENDEES TAKING PHOTOS WITH THEIR PHONES 3. VARIOUS OF BILES LISTENING TO EVENT HOSTS 4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GYMNAST, SIMONE BILES, SAYING: “And I'm still currently in therapy. I go once a week because it's just become part of my daily routine. I used to kind of hate therapy and was really scared of therapy and being deemed as weak and now I know it's just strong, and you know, I'm getting the help that I deserve. So, I'm not sure what 2028 looks like, but I will be there in some capacity. I just don't know right now if it's on the floor or in the stands, but I definitely want to go and be a part of that movement.” 5. BILES TALKING TO EVENT HOST 6. AUDIENCE LISTENING 7. BILES LISTENING TO EVENT HOST 8. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GYMNAST, SIMONE BILES, SAYING: “So, mental health and the topic of conversation surrounding that is still a really, really big stigma around the world and especially in the U.S. because it's not talked about enough. So, I think the first step in breaking that stigma is having conversations around it and seeing how we look at it and stop thinking of it as a weakness and thinking more of it as you deserve that help. And I think we've started doing that and we've started having global conversations around mental health and that conversation. And I think so many more athletes are speaking up and speaking out about what they're going through and telling their stories.” 9. AUDIENCE WATCHING THE CONFERENCE 10. ATTENDEE TAKING PHOTOS OF THE EVENT 11. BILES LISTENING TO EVENT HOSTS 12. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GYMNAST, SIMONE BILES, SAYING: “People cannot relate to gold medals and representing their country on a world stage, but they can relate to mental health and what we're all going through. And so if I can be a lending…, if I can be a helping hand, then that's what I'm going to do, especially for kids all around the world. Then I can shine a light on it basically.” 13. AUDIENCE APPLAUDING 14. BILES STANDING TO RECEIVE FLOWERS 15. BILES RECEIVING FLOWERS  16. BILES HOLDING FLOWERS  17. BILES TALKING TO HOST AT THE END OF THE EVENT STORY: Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, delivered a motivational talk titled “The Power of Believing” in Buenos Aires on Wednesday (October 8), sharing her personal journey and advocating for mental health in sports.     Biles has won 11 Olympic medals and 23 World Championship golds, and is widely recognized not only for her athletic achievements but also for her leadership in mental health awareness.     During her talk, Biles reflected on her experience at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she withdrew from several events after suffering from “twisties” — a mental block that disrupts coordination and can endanger athletes. Her decision sparked global debate, with many praising her courage to prioritize well-being over competition.     The event was held at the city’s government headquarters as part of Buenos Aires’ designation as World Capital of Sport for 2027.
