WNBA star Cameron Brink couldn’t contain her emotions when she found out she’s representing the United States at the 2024 Olympics … breaking down in tears during the big reveal.
USA 3×3 basketball announced the four women who would compete for a gold medal this summer in Paris … with Brink, Cierra Burdick, Hailey Van Lith and Rhyne Howard getting the nod.
The organization shared a special video of the moment the Los Angeles Sparks hooper found out she made the team … and grab a box of tissues, ’cause it’ll have you in your feels.
Jay Demings — the national team director — met up with Brink in Arizona … and as soon as he started talking, the waterworks turned on.
“Oh, my God, oh, my God,” Brink said as she gave Demings a hug and accepted her No. 8 jersey. “Thank you.”
Brink — the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft — said she was completely shocked by the selection … even though she led the Red, White and Blue to a World Cup championship a year ago.
The clip also showed Brink on a FaceTime call with coach Jen Rizzotti … who congratulated her on the major milestone.
Brink added it’s been her dream to be an Olympian her whole life … and now, it’s finally coming true.
