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 it will also be the venue for the 50th competition in Red Bull Cliff Diving with the Guggenheim Museum as the breathtaking backdrop for this huge milestone. While England’s Gary Hunt has already clinched his 5th title in seven years, one question remains to be answered: Which athletes will complete the 6 automatic qualification places behind the 5-time champion?

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.
