Iffland beats her competitors again | Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2019 - Lebanon (LBN) - Winning Dive Women

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 secured her third season podium. In the overall standings the dominant duo Hunt and Iffland top the boards with the same lead ahead of their closest challengers. Rhiannan Iffland, (AUS): “This year I just think I’ve found my rhythm. I feel like I’m in a good place mentally. I know I have done the training in a long off season putting in the work. Now it’s paying off. I’m just trying to be in a good place up there, in a good headspace and rely on my training. It’s definitely working. I’m absolutely shuffling my dives. I don’t think I’ve scored this high ever, this is a new personal best for me. I guess it can be a goal to win all the events. I’m seeing this a little bit more achievable after this event. I just want to stay really consistent and feeling comfortable with myself.”
