Manila Bulletin
|April 20, 2025
Last weekend, over some of the picturesque islands of El Nido, Palawan, seasoned cliff divers French-British Gary Hunt and Australian Rhiannan Iffland shone the brightest by topping the first leg of the 2025 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.
Behind that scene, though, was the first-ever Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champion in 2009 who now serves as the Red Bull Cliff Diving sports director.
At 50 and with 13 world titles under his belt, the retired Colombian high diver is embracing his new role in the sport he grew to love. In fact, they have been working to make it on a grand stage like the Olympics.
