Team USA's Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook Earn Silver in Women's Synchronized 3-Meter Springboard at Paris Olympics

Team USA's Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook made their Olympic debuts together in the women's synchronized 3-meter springboard event at the Paris Olympics on July 27, 2024. They finished in second place with a score of 314.64 points, earning Team USA its first medal of the Games.

Bacon and Cook missed out on the Olympics last year but have both competed and won medals in previous Olympic Games and World Championships. China's Yani Chang and Yiwen Chang dominated the event with a score of 337.68 points, winning their first Olympic medals of their careers.

China has been a dominant force in diving for decades, having won 71 out of 98 gold medals in total (47 golds, 23 silvers, and 10 bronzes). Chinese women have won gold six times in seven Olympic Games in the synchronized springboard event.

The United States has not had an Olympic gold medalist in diving since David Boudia won the men's platform title at London 2012. The last time Team USA earned a medal in this event was when Kelci Bryant and Abby Johnston finished second in the synchronized springboard competition at London 2012.

Bacon, who will also compete in the individual springboard event, hails from Indianapolis and competed at the University of Minnesota. Cook is from The Woodlands, Texas, and attended Stanford. They both showed determination after missing out on making the team for Tokyo 2020 due to injury.

The first full day of competition in Paris saw Americans competing in various events including swimming, gymnastics, and tennis. Team USA divers will compete again on July 31 when Jessica Parratto and Delaney Schnell represent Team USA in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform event.

The men's divers will compete on August 2 with Tyler Downs and Greg Duncan representing Team USA in the men's synchronized 3-meter springboard final.

USA Diving's Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook win Olympic silver in Paris

USA Today Saturday, 27 July 2024 00:00
  • Unique Points
    • Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook are the first American medalists in diving at the Paris Olympics.
    • Bacon made her Olympic debut and Cook competed in her second Olympics. Both are Americans from different universities.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (100%)

  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes several statements in the article that are not fallacious. However, there is one instance of an appeal to authority when the author states 'Since the women’s synchronized springboard competition was introduced in 2000, six of seven gold medals have been won by Chinese tandems. China has won every Olympic gold medal in women’s diving since 2004.' This statement implies that because China has a history of winning gold medals in women's synchronized springboard and women's diving, they are more likely to win the gold medal at the current Olympics. However, this does not necessarily mean that the Chinese team is superior or that they will definitely win. It is important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results.

  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and an appeal to authority, but no formal or informal fallacies were found. The author uses phrases like 'first medal for the United States' and 'dominated the event' to create a sense of urgency and importance around the athletes' performances. The author also mentions that China already had one gold medal before this event, implying that their success is a threat or problem for other countries. Additionally, the author states that Chang and Chen have 'multiple gold medals on the world championships', which could be seen as an appeal to authority as it implies their expertise in the field.

  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and dichotomous depictions. The author states that 'China has ruled diving for decades' and 'China won the first two gold medals of the Paris Olympics on Saturday, continuing the country's dominance in diving.' These statements are appeals to authority as they rely on the assumption that because China has a history of winning gold medals in diving, it is currently dominant. The author also states that 'Chinese women have won gold six times in seven Games' and 'Starting with the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics where China claimed its first diving gold, it had won 47 of 64 gold medals in diving.' These statements are dichotomous depictions as they present China's dominance in a black-and-white manner, implying that there are no other countries that come close to matching China's success. However, the article does not contain any egregious fallacies and the overall tone is informative.
