Fellow Brit Blake Aldridge performs a brand-new dive to come second, while Orlando Duque repeats his third-placed finish from Colombia. As of today these three athletes also lead the overall standings after two of eight stops. A record number of spectators for a World Series event watched the competition unfold as 75,000 pairs of hands propelled 13 of the world&#8217;s best cliff divers to excel from the 27.5m-platform on the Saint Nicolas Tower on a sunny Sunday afternoon, the athletes reaching speeds of 85kph during their three-second dives.<\/p>\n<p>The season\u2019s first stop on European soil was a return to the World Series\u2019 all-time favourite location \u2013 La Rochelle. The town with the apt name of \u2018little cliff\u2019 was the lynchpin for the world\u2019s cliff diving elite for the fifth time in the seven years of the series and it was Gary Hunt (516.00pts) who took an impressive win ahead of his nearest rivals. Second-placed Aldridge debuted a brand-new dive in World Series competition on Sunday &#8211; his reverse double somersault with five twists has now overtaken Hunt&#8217;s own triple quad as the hardest dive in the sport to date, with a Degree of Difficulty of 6.3. Executed successfully, it has the potential to catapult the former Olympian to the top and so it proved in France. The 8s from the judges helping to ensure that Blake, with a total of 460.35 points, joined Hunt in making it an English one-two on the podium for the first time in the World Series. Orlando Duque (456.20pts) completed the top-three with a second successive third-placed finish in the World Series, but there was disappointment for former champion Artem Silchenko, the winner of the last event staged in La Rochelle in 2013, as the Russian missed out on a place in the final having lost his head-to-head with Hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Disappointment, but also relief, was the emotion felt by Steven LoBue after the US athlete struck the platform with his head in Round 2 during the execution of a twist for his triple quad dive. LoBue somehow kept his concentration and completed the dive, but afterwards was sporting a deep cut above his left eye.<\/p>\n<p>The daunting venue in the Bay of Biscay topped its own record of the biggest World Series\u2019 crowd of 75,000 spectators along the quay walls. It\u2019s a one-of-a-kind atmosphere when so many people are hushed for the three-second dive and then cheer the resurfacing athlete.<\/p>\n<p>The World Series athletes do not have long to recover from this cold-water battle, with the next stop taking place in Texas in under two weeks&#8217; time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in La Rochelle Video Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2015 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in La Rochelle\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1-2e7NPKr60?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>QUOTES FROM THE TOP-THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gary Hunt (UK)<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s amazing, it\u2019s the start to the season that I really wanted and doing it here in La Rochelle&#8230; it\u2019s extra special! This competition has such a history behind it. We were all nervous thinking what it was going to be like, but today was great \u2013 it wasn\u2019t too cold, there was hardly any wind. The conditions were perfect \u2013 the best we\u2019ve had in La Rochelle \u2013 the crowd were amazing as well and to finish on top of the podium is the cherry on top of the cake. It\u2019s been a great start to the year for me and it was great seeing Blake [Aldridge] on the podium as well \u2013 we talked about doing a one-two this year and we\u2019ve done it already so it\u2019s an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blake Aldridge (UK)<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m delighted. I came into the week not feeling very well. I didn\u2019t feel myself yesterday, but fortunately I did a good dive and started today off in second. I still didn\u2019t feel 100 percent today, but got straight up and did my big new dive in training and that went down well. That relieved a lot of pressure and spurred me on. To finish second&#8230; I\u2019m delighted. I\u2019ve got such good memories of this place. It\u2019s where I learnt to cliff dive, where I got my first podium and now I\u2019ve got a third place and a second place here. It\u2019s always a good place to come to, the crowd\u2019s always amazing. Gary [Hunt] and I have both been on the podium together, but we\u2019ve not done a British one-two before, and we\u2019ve managed to do that now. Unfortunately it\u2019s Gary who\u2019s always first! But hopefully we can change that at some point! I\u2019ve put in a lot of training in the off-season and learnt some new dives including my big twist \u2013 and it\u2019s paying off. Even if I don\u2019t dive great, I\u2019m still going through on 7.5s and 8s, so before it was all or nothing, but now even though I\u2019m still not at my best I\u2019m getting on the podium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Orlando Duque (COL)<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m feeling better in practice than in the competition which isn\u2019t great. It should be happening in the competition, but it\u2019s still early and hopefully I can do a little bit better as the season develops. I know I have the dives so I can make it work later on. This has been one of the best years we\u2019ve had in La Rochelle. The diving is going crazy right now \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of difficulty but there\u2019s also a lot of quality. Gary [Hunt] is still the mega champion! Like I told him when he came to the podium, this is his town! I was ahead of him going into the last round, and I think if I\u2019d have scored 10s on my last dive I might have beaten him&#8230; just. But right now he\u2019s a long way ahead of everyone, and nothing fazes him, which makes it even tougher. But it\u2019s good to have that motivation \u2013 you want to get close to him and one day beat him. It\u2019s next stop Texas and I\u2019m determined to do well there. I was in last place there last year, so hopefully I can maintain the level that I\u2019m diving at right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results Stop 2, La Rochelle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.

The sport&#8217;s best athletes leap aesthetically from almost three times the Olympic height with no protection at all, except their concentration, skill and physical control. In less than three seconds, gravity propels the divers&#8217; bodies as they fall the equivalent of eight stories, reaching speeds in excess of 85kph.<br \/>\nSince 2009, the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series has provided a platform for breathtaking action and dives of incredible complexity, spotlighting the sport\u2019s top athletes as well as young talent and in 2014 it introduced a Women\u2019s World Series. In its seventh season, this rapidly-evolving sport will crown new champions during eight demanding competitions for the men and three stops for the women. Between April and September, this pure extreme sport will touch waters in natural and urban surroundings as well as remote and iconic venues across South America, the US and Europe and top it all with the season finale and the 50th World Series competition.<\/p>\n<p>LifeProof\u00ae is the official World Series partner to protect competitors\u2019 smartphones to ensure they can focus on competing, safe in the knowledge that their device is protected from dirt, dust, rocks and crucially, water!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Bull Cliff Diving Series La Rochelle Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-134419-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/05\\\/cyrille-oumedjkane-red-bull-diving-2015.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;134422&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;cyrille-oumedjkane-red-bull-diving-2015&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Cyrille Oumedjkane of France dives from the 27.5 metre platform on the Saint Nicolas Tower during the second stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, La Rochelle, France on May 17 2015.&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Photo Courtesy: Tomislav Moze&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/05\\\/david-colturi-red-bull-diving-2015.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;134424&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;david-colturi-red-bull-diving-2015&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;David Colturi of the USA dives from the 27.5 metre platform on the Saint Nicolas Tower during the second stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, La Rochelle, France on May 17 2015.&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Photo Courtesy: bergermarkus.com&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/05\\\/michael-navratil-red-bull-diving-world-series-2015.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;134426&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;michael-navratil-red-bull-diving-world-series-2015&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Michal Navratil of the Czech Republic dives from the 27.5 metre platform on the Saint Nicolas Tower during the warm up of the second stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, La Rochelle, France on May 17 2015.&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Photo Courtesy: bergermarkus.com&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/05\\\/andy-jones-red-bull-diving-2015.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;134420&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;andy-jones-red-bull-diving-2015&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Andy Jones of the USA dives from the 27.5 metre platform on the Saint Nicolas Tower during the second stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, La Rochelle, France on May 17 2015.&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Photo Courtesy: Tomislav Moze&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/05\\\/gary-hunt-crowd-red-bull-diving-205.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;134425&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;gary-hunt-crowd-red-bull-diving-205&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Gary Hunt of the UK dives from the 27.5 metres platform on the Saint Nicolas Tower during the second stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, La Rochelle, France on May 17 2015.&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Photo Courtesy: Vincent Curutchet&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/05\\\/blake-aldridge-gary-hunt-orlando-duque-red-bull-2015.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;134421&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;blake-aldridge-gary-hunt-orlando-duque-red-bull-2015&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Blake Aldridge of the UK (2nd), Gary Hunt of the UK (1st) and Orlando Duque of Columbia (3rd) celebrate on the podium after the second stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, La Rochelle, France on May 17 2015.&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Photo Courtesy: Tomislav Moze&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>The above article is a press release submitted to Swimming World.
