PURE CLIFF DIVING SEES NEW FACES ON THE PODIUM
With three new podium finishers the 2015 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series enters a decisive phase
Mexico’s Jonathan Paredes and Andy Jones, from the United States, cause a stir in the World Series as they dive into the top-three in the season’s purest stop on a volcanic islet in the Azores archipelago, behind the ever-dominant Gary Hunt, from England. In what was the year’s closest result from almost three times the Olympic height, the athlet...

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. And although the English winning streak continued, Mexico’s rising star Jonathan Paredes (450.90pts) – the youngest athlete in the World Series at 25 years of age – pushed the champion closer than anyone else has done so far this season, achieving 10s from the judges for two of h...

'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...

Perfectionism is what has driven cliff divers ever since. The one perfect dive, no splash and all tens from the jury. However, what does it take to perform a dive perfectly? How do you train for it? 27 metres of freefall in three seconds and there is still time enough to make mistakes. The sport of cliff diving is a very complex one and to reach perfectionism you not only need outstanding physical skills, but also you need to match it with your mental strength. The perfect dive – a once in yo...

Evolution of the sport - The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is in its fifth year in 2013 and the sport keeps progressing every year. Cliff diving is more dynamic than ever and the tricks from 27 metres get more and more complicated. The degree of difficulty increases steadily and this year several athletes break the magical 6.0 hurdles. They perform three somersaults and four twists, for example, or five somersaults in just 3 seconds – is this the limit?

Who'll Become Cliff Diving's King of Denmark?
Raise the curtain! When 14 of the world’s best cliff divers take possession of the Danish Opera House it’s time to fill the 28m gap between the platform on the rooftop and the chilly waters of Copenhagen harbour with diving complexity. After three consecutive wins for Gary Hunt, the reigning champion, could it be time for a changing of the guard this Saturday afternoon.
Copenhagen provides the athletes with a panoramic view of the royal palace,...

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.
