Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland maintained their winning form on a dramatic and barely believable day of high-quality action at the fourth stop of the 2021 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Downpatrick Head, Ireland. In the men’s competition, Hunt earned his 41st career victory, but that doesn’t even begin to tell the story. Having earned three 10s himself in Saturday’s second round, the Frenchman watched on as his rivals cranked up the pressure with a series of high-scoring dives in the t...

In the men’s competition, Gary Hunt returned to the top of the podium for the first time this season, fending off the late challenge of Constantin Popovici to post his third win at Stari Most. Hunt, without a win in 2021 coming into this stop, had spoken openly earlier in the week about the double threat posed this season by rivals Popovici and Catalin Preda. The two Romanians faltered in the rain on Friday however, and despite Popovici’s sensational final dive, for which he picked up two 10...

On a highly competitive afternoon in Norway’s capital city, it was Romania’s Constantin Popovici who narrowly pipped compatriot Catalin Preda to victory in what turned out to be more of a ‘Romanian rumble’ than an exhibition at the Oslo Opera House. The athletes displayed an array of extraordinary high dives to amaze the enthusiastic spectators who came to witness the first ever sports event from this landmark building.

Hunt had arrived in the Basque Country with a steely determination to reassert his dominance, following a humbling defeat to the sport’s new star, Constantin Popovici of Romania, at Stari Most. And the Brit’s smile was as wide as the Nervión as he emerged from the water to see he had edged ahead of Mexico’s Jonathan Paredes for the win. Fellow Brit, 17-year-old Aidan Heslop, defied his tender age to grab third and a place on the podium in just his second start as the youngest diver ever. R...

Australia’s Rhiannan Iffland completed the perfect season in Bilbao, Spain, winning her seventh stop in a row to become the first Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series diver ever to go unbeaten all year. On the men’s platform, it was the familiar sight of England’s Gary Hunt celebrating in front of 27,000 fans who had gathered beside the Nervión river, following his fifth win of the season.

Iffland, who along with Hunt had secured the King Kahekili trophy with a stop to spare in Mostar three weeks ago, continued her record-breaking form to achieve a feat that no man or woman had managed before. The 28 year-old ‘dominator from down under’ has been untouchable from the 21m platform this year, and a fourth title in a row shows just how far ahead of her rivals she is right now. Canada's Lysanne Richard finished the day 27 points behind in second place, while Jessica Macaulay of En...

The art of cliff diving returns to the Basque city to crown the 2019 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champions while the women premiere in Spain and 2020 tickets are still up for grabs. Although the overall titles were sealed during the penultimate stop in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the pressure is high in the men’s and women’s as only the best performers will make the cut for 2020 during the year’s final aesthetic free falls from up to 27m. Record-setting champions Gary Hunt from Great Brit...
