Jessica Parratto, a native of Dover, New Hampshire, and her diving partner Delaney Schnell attempt to win a medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris on Wednesday morning, July 31.

Parratto and Schnell are seeking a second medal in the women’s 10-meter synchronized diving after winning silver at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Parratto, 30, is competing in her third Olympics.

Jessica Parratto and her parents, Amy and Mike, left a big mark on Seacoast New Hampshire swimming and diving before moving to Indiana to pursue her Olympic dreams after her freshman year at Dover High School. Jessica helped lead the DHS swimming and diving team to a state title. Her parents led the Seacoast Swimming Association for more than 20 years, including coach Jenny Thompson, who won 12 Olympic medals (eight gold).

The city of Dover honored Jessica in August 2021 after she and Schnell won silver at the Tokyo Olympics. Amy and Mike Parratto are in Paris to see their daughter. They missed seeing their daughter win a silver medal in person in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions that forced athletes to perform in venues without spectators.

See below for information on how to watch Parratto and Schnell fight live. The event may also be shown on NBC-TV later in the day as a replay.
