Cliff diving is a very spectacular and thrilling sport. The athletes perform multiple flips and twists in the air but the most critical part of each dive is the end. The barani and the water entry have to be perfect to bring a good dive to a perfect end. To get the high score of ten the divers need a rip entry with almost no splash. Even though this part of the dive looks simple, the athletes need years of practice to execute their entries perfectly. Before they can raise the degree of difficulty of their dives, their entries must be a 100% perfect.
