It’s not quite the end of this year’s Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, but already we are witnessing a Grand Finale on September 13: The women of Cliff Diving are competing in Italy for the World Champion title. And this is going to be a tight race. Rachelle Simpson (USA) and wildcard Cesilie Carlton (USA) are currently tied in first place.
Beautiful Polignano a Mare in South Italy is also the penultimate stop for the men’s 2015 World Series. And this competition got mixed up at the last stop in Mostar when Mexican Jonathan Paredes broke Gary Hunt’s (UK) winning streak and snatched first place. Paredes is now fighting with Columbian legend Orlando Duque for the second place in the overall standings.
The long waiting comes to an end. The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2024 was about to kick off in Athens, Greece on May 26th. 2024 is a year of milestones. The men started into their 15th season while the women were entering their 10th season. The second stop in Boston will mark the 100th event…
Europe’s mecca of cliff diving Polignano a Mare probably provides the most unusual venue: the divers will take off from a private rooftop terrace, which is only to enter via a private living room. The house of a local resident is built over the cliffs of the Adriatic coast and almost seems to be integrated in the cliff itself. The seventh stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series promises to become a thrilling competition in an extraordinary setting with tough fights for the podium places.
The impressive dive marks the celebration of the Australian record champion’s return home for the 2022 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series final as the men’s title will be decided in the year’s final dive.
Canada’s Molly Carlson and Aidan Heslop of the UK scored their first ever Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series victories in Boston on Saturday, ousting the reigning men’s and women’s champions in an exceptional display at the Institute of Contemporary Art.
