Gets Real: Washington Paralympian shares her story of success
For years, Taylor Swanson competed alongside able-bodied athletes, only to make a profound discovery when she was 30 years old. After feeling a step behind her entire life, Swanson was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. But once the playing field was levelled, she excelled. 'I always had Cerebral Palsy, I just didn't know it. So, I had a lot of trouble in school… accidents, falling over, things like that," said Swanson. As a member of the Roosevelt High School track team, Swanson admits it was a struggle to keep up with her classmates, but it was a knee injury that prompted a physical therapist to suggest exploring para-athletics. 'From then, I started looking into competing as a Para-athlete and what that journey looked like,' said Swanson. That research landed her at ParaSport Spokane, a supportive non-profit organization that provides training and competitive opportunities for athletes with physical disabilities of all ages. Her time there propelled her into her first Paralympic Games in Paris last summer. 'I had no expectations. My coach always tells me 'go out there and have fun,' which is what I tried to do,' she said. She did more than that. She brought home a silver medal in the 100-meter T37 Sprint and a bronze in the 4x100-meter Universal Relay. 'It was awesome to have 80,000 fans watching me race, which was completely new to me,' she added. Last month, Swanson competed at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, a 'good tune-up' leading to Nationals, which was also happening in Eugene in August. A decent showing there would give her a chance to qualify for the World Championships in New Delhi, India, next month, and if all goes well, could prompt an invite to the 2028 Summer Paralympics in Los Angeles. Swanson was asked what it would mean to get that gold medal to hang around her neck, and if she had already envisioned that in her head. 'Yeah. That's the ultimate goal, getting that gold medal,' she affirmed. When asked for any advice she'd pass along, Swanson replied, 'Just to go out there… try it. I run track, but there's so many other sports out there. Just find one that you love, because there's a lot of opportunities for athletes who have disabilities, for whatever interests they may have.'

Sparks outlast Storm in offensive thriller, first double overtime game of season
SEATTLE — A week after claiming the first buzzer-beating win of the WNBA season, the Los Angeles Sparks earned the year's first double-overtime victory, outlasting the Seattle Storm 108-106 Friday in a game that featured 14 lead changes and 12 ties. It was a triumph of offensive execution for both teams in crunch time, as each made clutch shots that forced increasingly difficult responses. There were five combined baskets in the final minute of regulation and zero misses. The final minute of overtime saw a Julie Allemand drive to the basket matched by one from Skylar Diggins. And Gabby Williams' wing 3-pointer to tie the game with 16 seconds to play — capping a five-point Seattle comeback in the second extra session — was eclipsed by a pick-and-roll finish from Dearica Hamby to seal the win. Diggins' attempt at the buzzer, one day before the star's 35th birthday, couldn't force a third overtime. The Sparks ended the game with four players scoring at least 20 points, a first in franchise history. They scored their third-most points in a game, collecting their sixth win in seven tries to move to a WNBA-best 9-6 on the road. 'Everyone just did their job,' Rickea Jackson said. 'Whatever was asked of us, we executed to the T.' Jackson led the way for L.A. with 27 points, the second-highest total of her career, but arguably the best game she has ever played at the pro level. Her box-outs helped keep the Storm off the glass, especially early, and the Sparks turned to Jackson down the stretch in regulation when they needed a score to tie the game. Her ability to duck in and overpower her defender was the advantage Seattle couldn't overcome. Fellow L.A. sophomore Cameron Brink played in her second game since returning from an ACL injury suffered in June 2024. Still on a minutes limit, Brink played 12 minutes, registering two steals and three blocks, including a monster rejection on the All-Star Williams in the fourth quarter. Many of Brink's minutes came against Dominique Malonga, also a No. 2 pick, and the two dazzled with their defensive playmaking. Brink also chipped in five points on jump shots at the start of the quarter to help the Sparks stay in contact while Hamby and Azurá Stevens were on the bench. The Storm lost despite 37 points from former L.A. star Nneka Ogwumike and double-digit scoring outputs from three other starters. Afterwards, coach Noelle Quinn was disappointed in the officiating, particularly relating to her point guard. Although L.A. was whistled for 22 fouls compared to 21 for Seattle, Quinn said, '(Diggins) played 43 minutes and took zero free throws. It's ridiculous. Maybe I have to come up and rant and rave for us to get respect and consistency. That's all I want. 'I'm not a coach that complains often,' Quinn added. 'But I see what happens when people come up here and do it, so now I'm about to do it. Forty-three minutes and zero free throws is bullshit. Period.' The Storm entered the game last in the league in free-throw attempts per game (15.9) compared to 22.1 for the second-place Sparks. Diggins, however, is 10th in the WNBA with 5.1 foul shots per game, though she didn't make any trips to the line Friday. Quinn also questioned the outcome of a challenge with 58 seconds to play in regulation, with Seattle up three. L.A. appeared to lose possession out of bounds, but the referees ruled the ball off the Storm and confirmed the call upon review. 'I saw with my own eyes it go off the opponent and they said there was not enough camera angles to change that call,' Quinn said. 'Again, the lack of respect, the disrespect. I can't. I know I'm young and early in my career but I work very hard and so does my team and we deserve to get refereed consistently. We deserve to get the calls that are just blatant. But there's not enough camera angles.' L.A. remains outside of playoff position despite its recent surge, now two games behind the No. 8 seed for the final playoff spot. Seattle falls into a tie with Indiana at No. 5 before the two teams face off Sunday for the second time this season. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon's outing undone by control issues
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free MIAMI — Carlos Rodón's smooth sailing turned into a bruise cruise. The lefty's squandering of most of a six-run lead was not the biggest Yankees pitching story in Friday night's 13-12 loss to the Marlins. Advertisement That distinction belonged to newly acquired reliever Camilo Doval, acquired from the Giants at the trade deadline, who flushed a 12-10 lead in the ninth inning. A close second goes to two other newcomers, Jake Bird and David Bednar, who combined to give up six runs in the seventh inning to turn a 9-3 Yankees lead into a 10-9 Miami advantage. But it was Rodón's collapse that started the ugly trifecta. 'I had a good little run going and then I got real inconsistent, spraying balls,' Rodón said. 'Just not good enough. Five walks, 107 pitches to get 13 outs is pretty unacceptable.' Advertisement Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon returns to the dugout against the Marlins during the third inning Friday night in Miami. Imagn Images The Yankees' 6-0 lead was built on the strength of a three-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton and a two-RBI single by Cody Bellinger. In the bottom of the fifth, a leadoff walk followed by the two-run homer Rodón yielded to Javier Sanoja may have seemed harmless enough at the time. Two strikeouts and two walks later, after his 107th pitch, Rodón was lifted in favor of Jonathan Loáisiga. Advertisement The reliever promptly hit Otto Lopez with a pitch to load the bases before serving up a two-run single to pinch-hitter Liam Hicks to make it 6-4. 'Rodo was kind of cruising early on there,' Aaron Boone said. 'He just had trouble with the strike zone those last two innings and just got up to a point where I had to go get him. 'Not sure [why],' the manager continued. 'He wasn't off a lot, I didn't feel like. He was just missing on some pitches. Missing on some 3-2 counts. I thought in the early innings he was pretty sharp and I thought stuff was OK, but he just lost the strike zone a little bit.'

In June, it was 3.71 in six outings. In July, his six starts produced a 4.24 ERA. And Friday night was an even worse beginning to August. A day earlier, Marcus Stroman was handed a 7-0 lead against the Rays at Yankee Stadium. He gave up four runs in the fourth, left after five and was released by the Yankees on Friday.
