Cameron Brink was brought to tears this week upon learning that she had been selected to represent the United States this summer at the Paris Olympics as a member of the women’s 3×3 basketball team.

In a video shared Thursday by USA Basketball 3×3’s Instagram account, the Los Angeles Sparks rookie is seen crying after Jay Dennings, the organization’s national team director, shared the exciting news and presented her with an official Team USA jersey.

“It feels absolutely surreal. I was not expecting this whatsoever, but I’ve worked very hard for this. I love the coaches, the committee, and everything, so I’m just beyond thankful,” Brink said.

Brink, 22, will join Cierra Burdick, currently of Spain’s Valencia Basket Club, the Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard and TCU’s Hailey Van Lith in a quest to bring home another gold medal in the competition.
