In the women’s competition it was once again Rhiannan Iffland (AUS) who took first place in front of Lysanne Richard (CAN) in second and Ginger Huber (USA) in third.

It was Gary Hunt (GBR) who could defend his last year’s victory at the Azores. Andy Jones (USA) claimed the second place and Jonathan Paredes (MEX) completed the podium.

Diving from up to 28m with no protection other than concentration, skill, and physical control; in less than three seconds reaching speeds in excess of 85km/h, and punctuated by awe-inspiring tricks – that's the essence of cliff diving. Diving directly off the cliff face is a whole different ball game – for the season's most pure stop the planet's finest male and female divers will return to the so-called Princess Ring on Portugal's Azores next Saturday. © Red Bull Media House

'Life, Magic, and Love' - The fascination of cliff diving. “Some people don’t understand why we go up 27m and jump off, go back up there and do it again,” says Gary Hunt (UK), four-time Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champion, expanding he goes on, “it’s fun, it’s extreme, and it’s work – but doesn’t feel like work.” Jumping off great heights with no protection other than concentration, skill, and physical control; in less than three seconds reaching speeds in excess of 85kph, and punc...

After the competition’s Seeding Round off the ‘Snakehead’ rock on Friday, the 31-year-old ‘Brilliant Brit’ was positioned only 12th but recovered to rack up a haul of 471.80 points to win for the fifth time in a row.

Four stops, four victories – that’s Gary Hunt’s immaculate record at the midway point of the 2015 World Series season. The ‘Brilliant Brit’ has constantly increased the level of cliff diving complexity and difficulty, reaching new heights. With the next stop in the Azores archipelago, however, the sport not only returns to its purest form with 27m dives directly of the cliff face, but also to the location where the 31-year-old missed out on the final in the previous visit. Could difficult c...

The long process of learning a new cliff dive. In cliff diving, most elements are high: the number of somersaults and twists, the entry speed, as well as of course the take-off height. However, when starting to build a new dive, the professional athletes of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series go back to poolside and start with the ‘basic maths’ of their sport; breaking the dive into different parts, just to put it all together again when diving from 28m, and this includes various lead-ups...

A model of cliff diving consistency this year, the 31-year-old World Series record winner added another victory to his collection this weekend, his first one in Denmark. And just like in the season’s second stop in La Rochelle, France, the athletes from England made it a double, as former Olympian Blake Aldridge performed the sport’s hardest dive with a Degree of Difficulty of 6.3 for 8s and 8.5s from the judges to take second place. And it is the sport’s most experienced athlete and the winn...

In the competition divers need to perform 4 dives each. Two easy dives called required dives and two difficult dives called optional dives. The easy dives are to show form and grace and the difficult dives are about doing as many somersaults and twists as possible. There are rules to follow about the types dives the athletes can perform and the direction of take off as well. How hey choose it? How they decide execute one dive and not a different one. © Red Bull Media House

The hat-trick in wins went to the apparently unstoppable 30-year-old Gary Hunt, while Colombian legend Orlando Duque (478.70pts.) made it his third podium in three competitions and settled old scores with this location as he had finished bottom of the standings after a failed dive the previous year. Completing the podium was the third winner of a World Series, Russia’s Artem Silchenko (466.90pts.), who earlier beat American Andy Jones in his head-to-head by another very narrow margin, and lea...

With two 10s from the judges and the highest-scoring three-second dive of the whole competition, Englishman Gary Hunt makes it three wins out of three with a new personal-best score of 533.90 points in Texas. The season’s third stop operated under a revised schedule due to the probability of severe weather conditions in the region and produced a World Series champions’ podium, as Orlando Duque, from Colombia, and Artem Silchenko, from Russia – the winners in 2009 and 2013 – completed the top-...

The 2015 World Series, with two stops down, has been very much in English hands – two victories by Gary Hunt, a fourth and a second place for Blake Aldridge make it 670 points for the duo from the United Kingdom. When the cliff diving elite comes back to the 27m platform on Hell’s Gate at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas, on May 29, it is a return to the venue where in 2014 the competition turned into a high-scoring shootout. And it was ‘brilliant Brit’ Gary Hunt who made his mark with the highest...
