At the event, there were female competitors from the USA, Germany, Canada and Ukraine. The men&#8217;s event featured athletes of the same countries in addition to Colombia, Mexico, Czech Republic, Great Britain, Russia, Poland and France. A total of 11 countries participated in either the standard women&#8217;s 20-meter event or men&#8217;s 27-meter competition.<\/p>\n<p>This demographic is key in the IOC&#8217;s decision to include High Diving in 2020, as the Olympic Charter states:\u00a0\u201cOnly sports widely practised by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents, and by women in at least 40 countries and on three continents, may be included in the programme of the Games of the Olympiad.\u201d This will be the greatest challenge for inclusion of the sport.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_122228\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-122228\" data-attachment-id=\"122228\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/253987-2\/red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series-4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3200,2063\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series (4)\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series (4)&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Romina Amato\/Red Bull Cliff Diving&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series-4-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series-4-1024x660.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-122228\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series-4-1024x660.jpg\" alt=\"red-bull-cliff-diving-world-series (4)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-122228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Romina Amato\/Red Bull Cliff Diving<\/p><\/div>\n<p>High Diving is also contested at the Red Bull Cliff Diving Series. The 2017 circuit kicks off on June 25 in Inis Mor, Ireland. The event may offer an even more recent insight into how many countries might participate in this event after 17 were present in Abu Dhabi. The circuit has had athletes from additional countries such as Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Brazil, Belarus and Australia in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico&#8217;s <strong>Jonathan Paredes<\/strong>, who\u00a0finished second in the overall standings of the series in 2016 and third at the 2013 World Championships, spoke with FINA on the importance of the inclusion of High Diving in 2020:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe must fight for it! If there is a possibility, we must go and take it! If this becomes official, a lot more countries will start having athletes in High Diving. Don\u2019t forget that China (very strong in pool diving) is still not present in our discipline\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The continuous reference of the event as a &#8220;discipline&#8221; and not an additional event is also important in this process. There is a much greater chance of High Diving being added to the Olympic program if it is a discipline and not an additional new sport. Still, the event needs to proven as globally widespread.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, high divers from around\u00a0the world\u00a0are thrilled with the potential for this new event. <strong>Gary Hunt<\/strong> of Great Britain, the Red Bull Cliff Diving Series Overall Champion in 2014, 2015 and 2016, values the support for the sport:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is a great opportunity for our sport. If we are successful, we will definitively have an exciting time in Tokyo 2020. Moreover, it will give the important visibility the sport needs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The IOC will determine if any new sports will be added to the Olympic Program in a board meeting in July.<\/p>\n<p><em>Press Release Courtesy of FINA.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the 4th FINA High Diving World Cup in Abu Dhabi April 28-29, FINA executive director\u00a0Cornel Marculescu announced that the Federation has put in a request to the IOC to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":132832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[273,46161,184,41984,46755,893,41977,61318,39262],"class_list":["post-253987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diving","tag-cornel-marculescu","tag-diana-pimer","tag-fina","tag-gary-hunt","tag-high-diving","tag-ioc","tag-jonathan-paredes","tag-red-bull-cliff-diving-series","tag-the-2020-tokyo-olympics"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
