PARIS, France — The Paris 2024 Olympics are underway in France, and Hoosier athletes are already competing to represent Team USA. In fact, the first two medals the United States won came from Indiana athletes.
Here is how the athletes with Indiana connections did on Saturday, July 27:
Sarah Bacon
The first medals for Team USA came in the 3-meter synchronized springboard with Indianapolis native and Cardinal Ritter High School graduate Sarah Bacon and her partner, Kassidy Cook. The pair won silver in the competition, losing to Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen, of China, who won that nation's sixth consecutive gold medal.
Bacon had intended to retire from the sport after 2021 Olympics but narrowly missed making the Tokyo team. After taking a few months off, she reconsidered and resumed training under her college coach, Wenbo Chen, of Minnesota.
Her second event at the 2024 Paris Olympics is the 3m springboard, with the preliminary round scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Aug. 7. The 18 divers with the best scores will advance to the semifinal.

Chloé Dygert
It was a heartbreaking but inspiring day for Brownsburg's Chloé Dygert. She won bronze in the Women's Road Cycling individual time trial. The 27-year-old crashed on the course, which was wet with rain. Despite the fall, she finished less than a second behind the silver medalist Anna Henderson, of Great Britain. Australia's Grace Brown took home the gold.
Dygert experienced muscle spasms after the race and had to be assisted through the mixed zone, where athletes are interviewed after events.
She is still scheduled for the road race in Paris, which starts at 8 a.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 4.
Dygert's third Olympic event is the team pursuit, with qualifying scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
