75.000 spectators – a brand new most difficult dive and a moment of shock

A reverse double somersault with five twists in only 3 seconds, these are the facts of the most difficult dive ever seen during a Cliff Diving World Series event.  The former Olympian Blake Aldridge made this incredible dive, got 460.35 points and finished second.

It was Gary Hunt who took an impressive win …

One of the guys hits his head on the platform. Super dangerous. He got lucky this time.
