Boston is widely known as a sports-mad city and today’s fifth stop of the World Series proved
this nickname true. 47.000 spectators and more than two hundred boats crowded the area
around the Institute of Contemporary Art building late Saturday afternoon to see US diver David
Colturi take his first ever podium in front of his home crowd. Englishman Gary Hunt repeated his
victory from the 27.5m platform on America’s East Coast after 2011 and Colombia’s Orlando
Duque made up eleven positions to finish in second place. The top five in the overall standings
remain unchanged, only the gaps become closer to make this season even more thrilling.

Welcome to Bonifacio. Perched on a limestone pedestal, Bonifacio is one of the most spectacular towns in the Mediterranean. The citadel walls and ancient houses appear to rise seamlessly out of sheer cliffs that have been hollowed and striated by the wind and waves. Beneath, an inlet about 100 metres wide forms a natural harbour, home to a busy port. Only 12 kilometres from Sardinia, the town is distinctly more Italian than French in atmosphere, and even has its own dialect based on Ligurian...

Despite the literal meaning of Grimstad -- 'sour town' -- its roughly 20,000 permanent residents are widely known for their genuine happiness. Probably because of the region's good weather and the picturesque landscape surrounding the archipelago that stretches 500km from Oslo to the southern tip of Norway. © Red Bull Media House

WEARING THE LABEL ‘CLIFF DIVER’ WITH PRIDE They call themselves cliff divers, but still use a platform – why? A high rock and some deep water – that is what makes a cliff diver’s heart beat faster. Searching, finding, conquering and enjoying a cliff and the rush that goes through the body after a dive. It’s all about pure nature and brave men. When these athletes exchange the cliff for a platform and show their jaw-dropping manoeuvres from at least 27 metres in front of a huge crowd of spec...

We explain the basics of cliff diving: why is 27Metres (and not 25 or 29) the standard height? What is the scuba divers' job? Why does it only take 5 metres of water depth? What make the athletes dive from almost three times the Olympic height -- the thrill and the challenge of this spectacular sport? And is it possible to dive head from this height? For your reference: the height is comparable to an eight-storey building, the divers fall free for three seconds before they hit the water at 8...
