At 47 years old, Gabrielle Rose finishes 7th in 100-meter breaststroke finals at U.S. Nationals
Gabrielle Rose might be 47 years old, but she's still one of the best breaststroke swimmers in the country. Nearly three decades after qualifying for her first Olympics, Rose finished seventh in the finals of the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Swimming National Championships on Friday, falling short of qualifying for the world championships but still defying her age. Advertisement Rose posted a time of 1:08.54, close to her personal best of 1:08.32 and roughly three seconds behind champion Kate Douglass. Three-time Olympic gold medallist Lilly King, who plans to retire after this season, finished second. The one swimmer Rose finished ahead of in the final was the youngest person in the pool, Elle Scott. She was born in 2007. To make the final, Rose had to make the top 8 of a field of 60 swimmers, with every competitor at least 19 years younger than her. Every single one of those 59 other swimmers was born after Rose made her first Olympics in 1996, when she competed in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter individual medley and 100-meter freestyle for Team Brazil. Advertisement The Rio de Janeiro native and Stanford graduate switched to representing the U.S. in 1999. After Rose, the oldest swimmer was King at 28 years old. Per SwimSwam, Rose was the oldest swimmer to ever qualify for a championship final at a U.S. Olympic or Worlds Trial meet. Following her two Olympic berths in 1996 and 2000, Rose retired from competitive swimming in 2004 at age 26 after being struck with mononucleosis shortly before the Olympic trials. Per World Aquatics, her passion for the sport was reignited when she focused on fulfilling her late father's wish of preserving an Olympic-sized pool in her hometown. Advertisement Rose made a surprise return to elite competition in 2022 and reached the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, where she reached the semifinals 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke. Despite being in her mid-40s, she managed to make it a step further one year later. She also competed in the 50-meter breaststroke, placing 15th, and the 200-meter breaststroke, placing 19th.

Cameron Brink Shows Off Change in Physical Appearance After Sparks' Crucial Injury Update
Cameron Brink Shows Off Change in Physical Appearance After Sparks' Crucial Injury Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has now been almost one full year since Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in her left knee. The injury ended the former Stanford star's rookie season prematurely, and she has since been on the road to recovery ahead of her highly anticipated return from injury. Advertisement Brink's expected to return sometime in June, which means that she should now be closing in on her much-awaited comeback. Sparks head coach Lynne Roberts, however, recently provided an update on the 23-year-old's status, and the L.A. shot-caller refused to provide a firm timetable on her return. 'There's no date. She'll be cleared when she's cleared and ready to roll,' Roberts said on Tuesday, via reporter Justin Russo. Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron BrinkKirby Lee-Imagn Images In the meantime, Brink decided to make a change in her physical appearance. This comes in the form of switching up her hair color from the familiar golden blonde style she has been sporting. Advertisement Brink took to Instagram on Friday to show off her new locks, along with a five-word message on her decision to change her hair color. "back to my natural color," she wrote. Brink has now gone for a darker blonde/light brunette look. It features a sun-kissed, light golden brown shade with subtle blonde undertones, which, according to her caption, appears to be her natural hair shade. Fans should be able to see her new look on the basketball court soon enough. In her recent update, Coach Roberts said that Brink has done "a little bit" of work on the court, but has been limited to non-contact activity thus far. Advertisement The 6-foot-4 forward should be ramping up her work in practice in the near future, with a return sometime later this month still a possibility for Brink.
