England beats Norway 2-1 and qualifies for the semi-finals

The Tamaulipas Ichich Tenek 2026 Triathlon brought together hundreds of athletes in a high-level event. The swimming, cycling and running disciplines were developed in locations in the south of the state, in an atmosphere of competition and effort.

Benjamín Hernández Rodríguez, Secretary of Tourism of Tamaulipas, presented the awards to the winners of the elite category. During the ceremony, Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya’s support for sports tourism was highlighted.

“Tamaulipas contributes decisively to consolidating Mexico as the fifth tourist power in the world,” he said.

Elite results

In the men’s category, Eduardo Núñez Gómez took first place with a time of 00:54:22. He was followed by Erick Arturo Ortigoza Rodríguez (00:54:43) and Obed Díaz Quiroz (00:55:15).

Among women, María Fernanda Salazar Hernández was the fastest with 01:06:15. Second place went to María Cristina Soto López, with 01:10:56.

Hernández Rodríguez announced that the Ministry of Tourism is already preparing the 2027 edition, which promises surprises. He also invited people to follow social networks to find out about other events, such as the National Tianguis of Magical Towns in Tampico.

“With these events, Tamaulipas will surely make you fall in love with it,” the official concluded.

Mexico once again demonstrated its competitiveness in world archery. In the World Cup in Madrid, the national delegation added two silver medals.

Ximena Estrada and Miguel Becerra reached the mixed team final of compound bow. They faced the British Ajay Scott and Ella Gibson in a close duel. In the end, the Mexicans were left with the silver medal.

The tricolor performance confirms the good moment of this discipline in the country. The last stage of the World Archery circuit once again had an Aztec presence on the podium.

Mexico continues to position itself among the bow and arrow powers on a global level. The performance in Madrid is a reflection of the constant work of the athletes and their coaches.

An image that went around the world

On Saturday the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup were played between Norway and England. The match, which ended 1-2 in favor of the English with a double from Jude Bellingham, had a special guest in the stands: Gilberto Mora, the young promise of Mexican soccer.

The 17-year-old player, who plays for Xolos de Tijuana, attended the match accompanied by Rafaela Pimenta, representative of elite soccer players and agent of Erling Haaland, the Norwegian forward who played in the match.

With a San Diego Padres cap and red shirt, Mora experienced the atmosphere from the stands. But what caught the fans’ attention the most was seeing him participate in the famous ‘Norwegian rowing’, the celebration that Nordic fans hold during and after the games.

The celebration that went viral

In videos broadcast on social networks, the young Xolis youth squad can be seen smiling while imitating the rowing movement with the Norwegian fans. The scene reflects Mora’s connection with the international soccer environment, despite his young age.

The Mexican, considered one of the most promising jewels of national football, continues to add unique experiences while his sporting future is defined. Her presence on a World Cup stage, with the help of an agent with global weight like Pimenta, did not go unnoticed.

The English triumph, with the figure of Bellingham, put an end to Norway’s dream, but for Mora the trip left an unforgettable postcard: that of a young talent celebrating with the rival fans as if he were one of them.
