“AND I’M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN…”
You can’t ask for a better start to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for the United States of America. While you were asleep, our world-class Olympians were busy across the pond locking in podium finishes. And U.S.A. has already earned their first medal of the games, thanks to a team of synchronized divers by the names of Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon.
Better known as the diving duo of “Cook N’ Bacon.”
Go ahead and try to find a better team name for two Americans competing for the glory of their country than Cook N’ Bacon. It’s legendary. It’s medal worthy. It’s absolutely American. And the two divers had quite the large fanbase cheering them on over in Paris, France.

I need one of those shirts ASAP.
Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon sizzled during the competition, and their synchronized performance was good enough to earn them silver medals. Could the story have been better if they had gone for gold? Yes, of course, but silver is an outstanding achievement as well – and their names together are worth more than gold anyways.
Here’s the dive that made the Cook/Bacon team silver medalists:

So the United States of America is off to a hot start. One could even say the competition is already heating up on the griddle thanks to “Cook N’ Bacon.”
For us Americans, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to the games. Like I said, gold medal position would have been nice (if you ain’t first, you’re last), but having our great country’s first medal earned by a duo that implies bacon has been cooked, or is being cooked, is about as legendary as it gets.
Shoutout to Cook N’ Bacon for bringing home the silver!
