Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland signed off the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in style in Italy on Sunday afternoon, displaying their dominance once again by brushing aside the robust challenge of their rivals to claim yet another victory before their crowning ceremonies.

The reigning champions win in Italy and will lay their hands on the King Kahekili Trophy once again at the final stop in Polignano a Mare this weekend. Iffland, who arrived in Italy on the back of 11 straight victories across three seasons, knew that a top five finish in Puglia would be enough to seal the deal, and there were no signs of the Australian taking her foot off the pedal as she edged past Canada’s Jessica Macaulay to take the victory and her fifth King Kahekili Trophy

The reigning champions win in Italy and will lay their hands on the King Kahekili Trophy once again at the final stop in Polignano a Mare this weekend. In the men’s competition, Hunt had declared earlier in the week that he was determined to wrap things up at this stop, and the Frenchman duly delivered another victory to secure his ninth King Kahekili Trophy in 12 seasons.

Will the current leaders and reigning Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champions Iffland and Hunt preserve their top positions or can the strong wildcards shake up thefinal rankings? Just days after the record-breaking competition on the rugged Irish coast, the cliffdiving elite will determine its 2021 champions during back-to-back stops in Italy. With only four days between the two competitions the athletes’ stamina and strength will be put to its ultimate test in a unique final showdo...

The two Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champions were masterful once again on a day when 23 tens were handed out at Downpatrick Head. Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland maintained their winning form on a dramatic and barely believable day of high-quality action at the fourth stop of the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Downpatrick Head, Ireland.

Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland maintained their winning form on a dramatic and barely believable day of high-quality action at the fourth stop of the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Downpatrick Head, Ireland. In the men’s competition, Hunt earned his 41st career victory, but that doesn’t even begin to tell the story. Having earned three 10s himself in Saturday’s second round, the Frenchman watched on as his rivals cranked up the pressure with a series of high-scoring dives in the t...

Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland maintained their winning form on a dramatic and barely believable day of high-quality action at the fourth stop of the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Downpatrick Head, Ireland. Four-time champion Iffland, chasing a record-extending 11th consecutive World Series win, was simply untouchable yet again.

The Irish leg of the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series awaits cliff diving elite with rough and rugged conditions in brand-new location on September 12. Halfway into the season, the world’s best cliff divers featuring the reigning champions Rhiannan Iffland from Australia and France’s Gary Hunt will find themselves competing from a brand new launchpad on the sheer cliffs of Downpatrick Head. After three Irish stops in the rough waters of Inis Mór, and more recently a showing in Dubli...

In an exceptional 3-day event, the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series’ return to magnificent Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, will see 26 athletes launch from the Old Bridge, Stari Most, in honour of the local diving tradition. It’s the sixth time that the cliff diving elite returns to the historic Stari Most on August 28, and the stage looks set for more history to be added to this challenging location. After a sensational start into the season for wildcard diver Catalin Preda in Fran...

Third stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2021 in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina: The unstoppable Australian Rhiannan Iffland reigns again on the Neretva River, while Gary Hunt returns to winning ways in Stari Most.

Rhiannan Iffland continued her remarkable winning record at the third stop of the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina, extending her streak to 10 victories in a row across three seasons. Already holding a 37-point lead over her closest challenger going into the final round, Iffland dispatched another precise dive into the Neretva River to not only secure a record-extending 10th win in a row; but also surpass her own record competition score.

Hunt, without a win in 2021 coming into this stop, had spoken openly earlier in the week about the double threat posed this season by rivals Popovici and Catalin Preda. The two Romanians faltered in the rain on Friday however, and despite Popovici’s sensational final dive, for which he picked up two 10s, Hunt remained calm and composed at the end to claim a 40th World Series win, and his first as a Frenchman.

On a highly competitive afternoon in Norway’s capital city, it was Romania’s Constantin Popovici who narrowly pipped compatriot Catalin Preda to victory in what turned out to be more of a ‘Romanian rumble’ than an exhibition at the Oslo Opera House. The athletes displayed an array of extraordinary high dives to amaze the enthusiastic spectators who came to witness the first ever sports event from this landmark building.

In the men’s a sensational final dive gave record winner Hunt a runaway victory at the 5th stop of the season. At his brilliant best, the 35-year-old finished off with a perfect 10 dive, after he’d ripped his first dive directly off the cliff into the Mediterranean Sea to earn two 10s from the judges, to surpass Jonathan Paredes’ (MEX) combined record of six times the highest note from the jury at a single stop. 40 points behind the Brit, America’s Colturi finished in 2nd place after a slow s...

In another commanding performance, 27-year-old Iffland not only bettered her own point record for an optional dive by a significant 13 points, but also received three 10s for a single dive – an absolute novelty in the women’s. It was not only the Australian who broke records in the competition from the city’s most significant landmark as second placed Jimenez improved the high score for a required dive on day one. With the slightest of margins ahead of fourth place, Belarussia’s Nestsiarava s...
