Florida takes an Olympic podium spot with Kassidy Cook. She and her teammate Sarah Bacon made history for Team USA by winning the silver medal in the 3-meter synchronized springboard event at the 2024 Olympic Games.
This is the first Olympic medal for the U.S. team in this event since 2012.
The diver from Plantation, Florida, Kassidy Cook, has written a new chapter in U.S. sports history.
Alongside her teammate Sarah Bacon, she secured the silver medal in the 3-meter synchronized springboard at the Paris 2024 Olympics, ending a decade-long wait for the U.S. in this event.
With a score of 314.64, the U.S. duo demonstrated exceptional talent and perfect synchronization.
China’s Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen took gold with a score of 337.68, and the bronze medal went to Great Britain’s Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen, with a score of 302.28.
Bacon and Cook missed out on the Olympic Games when they were held in Tokyo in 2021, but Cook last competed in the 3-meter springboard at the Rio Olympics in 2016, finishing 13th in that event.
Bacon and Cook are world-renowned divers with multiple medals. Bacon won gold in the 1-meter springboard at the 2019 World Championships.
