Brock Whiston earns gold as father makes rare appearance at meet

Brock Whiston captured gold in the women's 100m breaststroke SB8 at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, setting a new Games record. This marked a significant moment as her father, Gel, attended to support her for the first time in 17 years, following a recent Parkinson's diagnosis. Whiston expressed a strong desire to make him proud, noting his long absence from poolside due to his aversion to swimming events. After achieving her goal, she reflected on the emotional moment they shared when he greeted her after the race. Although Whiston's events in Glasgow are concluded, she has more competitions ahead.
