Going into the second half, the 2014 World Series also returns to its pure and most fascinating natural side. Diving from a 28m cliff face without the support of a rock solid platform creates a special thrill and challenge for the world’s top athletes. A foreign feeling to those rather new in the sport, adjustments to the regular diving routine for everyone, even the experienced athletes. The two previous competitions on Portuguese soil have seen Artem Silchenko and Gary Hunt – both World Series champions – take victory. Will the “Princess Ring” produce a new winner?

'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...

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...
