In the women’s it was Canadian Lysanne Richard who dived to her first ever World Series victory following a strong first day of competition in her favourite cliff diving location. After pocketing the 2016 FINA world cup earlier this year, the 34-year-old is the 4th female to dominate an event and the one athlete to stop the ‘rocking rookie’ from Australia.

Artem Silchenko came back strong after a month of no diving and 23 months after his last victory. A little shorter was Steven LoBue’s podium dry spell as the American made it onto the podium for the first time since his win in Bilbao in 2015. Going into the final round as the leader was Mexican Jonathan Paredes, who reduces the gap to the overall leader Gary Hunt with the fourth podium finish in five competitions to sit in a strong second place going into the second half of the season.

It was a damn good time and I qualified for the FWT! I saw more of Europe than ever before and met people from everywhere with snow, and some from places with none. The cultural learning was out of hand! I couldn't tell you how many times I had yarns about language and history... This video i...
