Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2022 – Oslo (Norway) – Winning Dive (Men)

In the women category it is the reigning world champ, Rhiannan Iffland (AUS) taking another win, her third consecutive now this season. Second her biggest rival Molly Carlson (CAN) and on third a new face on the podium, Meili Carpenter (USA). The men category is as thrilling as it has never been before - fourth stop and the fourth winner. Today it is the legend Gary Hunt (FRA) taking home the win, second Alessandro de Rose and on third Aidan Heslop (GBR)

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.

The winning streaks of Britain’s Gary Hunt and wildcard Rhiannan Iffland from Australia came to a dramatic end in Polignano a Mare on Sunday afternoon, following a climactic final, which ended with Artem Silchenko and Canada’s Lysanne Richard celebrating on top of the podium in front of an enthusiastic 70,000 spectators. Gary Hunt, who was aiming for his fourth consecutive win, failed to make the final round for only the third time in his career. Rhiannan Iffland just came a few points short...

The grand finale of this years Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Thailand - The Gap, Maya Bay, Viking Cave and Hong Island – the names are just as unique as the venues themselves. The final showdown of the fifth season of Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series competition will once again challenge the international cliff diving elite as eight dives count towards the decisive last stop in Krabi Province in southern Thailand. Will Artem Silchenko steal the crown of the current champion Gary Hun...

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.

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.

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...

A ground-breaking season, which started with the first ever competition in Colombia, home of the sport’s grand seigneur, Orlando Duque, and has broken point records more than once and seen the highest diving complexity in seven years of the World Series, will reach fever pitch in the season’s final showdown next Saturday. Bilbao’s La Salve Bridge will not only be the take-off strip for the year’s last aesthetic free falls and the place for the handing over of the 2015 champion’s trophy, but i...
