The 2024 Paris Olympics are off to a great start for Team USA now that the Games are fully underway.
The pair of women's synchronized swimmers -- Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook, yes, they're Cook-N-Bacon -- stepped up on Saturday in the 3-meter synchronized springboard competition and won the team's first medal, a silver. China took home gold with Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen winning.
The photos, as you'd expect, are just unbelievable. Two divers, doing the same exact moves, at the exact same time make for some sweet snaps. Here's a look at some of them after Saturday's competition took place:
