Russian victory in Ireland at midway stop of 2012 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Some Irish luck with the weather and the excellent performances of the 14 athletes in harsh, but country-typical conditions combined in Saturday’s fourth stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2012 on the all-natural island of Inis Mór off the Irish west coast. With the day’s highest score for a single dive of 176.90 points, Russia’s Artem Silchenko took his second consecutive win ahead of Orlando Duq...

From an almost round volcanic islet on the Azores to a near-perfect rectangular blowhole in Ireland – the location for the fourth stop of the World Series is laden with myth as much as it is out of the ordinary. A sea serpent is said to make its presence felt with the help of screeching, stormy winds. The legendary Serpent’s Lair on Ireland’s Aran Islands provides the perfect pool for the world’s cliff diving elite at the halfway stage. Three different winners in as many competitions make the...

1,369km west of the European mainland, the Azores archipelago comprises nine islands spread over three groups and symbolizes the beginning of the grand adventure of discovery that began in the 15th century and led the Portuguese to have a presence in the four corners of the globe. Of volcanic origin, the Azores are undoubtedly one of the last paradises in Europe - appearing often in legends of the lost continent of Atlantis. The venue for the third of seven stops of the World Series is locate...

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...

0.1 points decided the winner of Saturday’s third stop of the 2012 World Series on the volcanic archipelago of the Azores, Portugal.

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.

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 diffic...

Nearly everyone has experienced the motivating power of music over our body and soul. Music can release emotions within seconds; the right beat encourages us to tap our feet or clap our hands; a familiar tune invites us to sing along. Music drives us and makes emotional moments unforgettable. Sport and music are closely connected -- even in sports climbing. It is no secret that many bouldering athletes name their routes after songs they listen to when mastering a project. Music is also an int...

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...

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...
