Joining Paredes on the podium were Czech Republic&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Michal Navratil<\/strong>\u00a0in second and Italian\u00a0<strong>Alessandro De Rose<\/strong>\u00a0in third.<\/p>\n<p>In the women&#8217;s, Australia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Rhiannan Iffland\u00a0<\/strong>overcame injury to display the heart of a true champion and secure her second title in as many seasons, with\u00a0<strong>Yana Nestsiarava<\/strong>\u00a0of Belarus and fellow Australian\u00a0<strong>Helena<\/strong> <strong>Merten<\/strong> finishing the sixth competition in second and third respectively.<\/p>\n<p>In a location that is only just shaking off the last remnants of winter, 28-year-old Paredes finally lived up to his billing as the \u2018style master\u2019 and performed his new hardest dive for the highest competition score of the year to top the podium in Chile. It was another season best for Navratil, who secured his first 2017 podium on second, forcing De Rose, the wildcard winner in Italy, into third place.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/cliffdiving\/status\/921817214579347462<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the overall results from the 27m platform, the King Kahekili Trophy went to Mexico for the very first time in nine years of the World Series. \u201cBecome the champion\u201d, was the new title holder\u2019s personal goal before the 2017 season and it was in his sixth year on the World Series that the Mexican took the top spot following a third and a second placed overall finish in the previous two years. Today\u2019s third-placed finisher\u00a0<strong>Alessandro De Rose,\u00a0Andy Jones<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>David Colturi<\/strong>\u00a0(both USA) complete the top six of the 2017 World Series to prequalify for the 2018 season.<\/p>\n<p>Hunt\u2019s mid-air blackout in the final dive made this dream come true and put the six-time winner in the runner-up spot for the third time since 2009, only 10 points short of his seventh title. Fellow Brit\u00a0<strong>Blake<\/strong> <strong>Aldridge\u00a0<\/strong>claimed third place overall, his personal best World Series result to date.<\/p>\n<p>Over in the women\u2019s, 26-year-old Iffland returned from a knee injury sustained at the last stop in Mostar and opted not to train from the women&#8217;s 21m platform in order to minimize the stress on her body. After two solid dives in the first two rounds, the defending champion finished her second season on tour in style with her fourth out of six possible wins. Belarusia\u2019s Nestsiarava finished where she had started the year \u2013 on second place, beating the youngest athlete in the line-up to third. It was Merten\u2019s fourth podium finish in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/cliffdiving\/status\/921809060806189056<\/p>\n<p>In the overalls, Iffland and Merten made it an Australian double with\u00a0<strong>Adriana Jimenez<\/strong>\u00a0from Mexico completing the women\u2019s top three. Despite\u00a0<strong>Ginger Huber<\/strong>\u00a0being forced to pull out due to injury, the American finished fourth overall and automatically qualified for the 2018 season as well.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the top six of the 2017 World Series ranking, the remaining four permanent tickets for the 2018 season were assigned according to the rankings after 9 events, including the FINA World Cup, the FINA World Championships and Marmeeting:\u00a0<strong>Michal Navrati<\/strong>l\u00a0(CZE),\u00a0<strong>Steven LoBue<\/strong>\u00a0(USA),\u00a0<strong>Orlando Duque<\/strong>\u00a0(COL) and\u00a0<strong>Kris Kolanus\u00a0<\/strong>(POL).<\/p>\n<p>In the female\u2019s,\u00a0<strong>Yana Nestsiarava<\/strong>\u00a0(BLR) and Germany\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Anna Bader\u00a0<\/strong>got awarded a permanent ticket for the fifth year of the women\u2019s World Series. According to the injury policy of the Red Bull\u00a0Cliff Diving\u00a0World Series,\u00a0<strong>Lysanne Richardis<\/strong> automatically qualified as a permanent diver for 2018 although the Canadian could not compete this season.<\/p>\n<p>Six tough and testing competitions to outperform the finest cliff divers \u2013 the fight for glory in the World Series\u2019 ninth season was arguably the most unpredictable to date. Three seconds of acrobatic free fall at venues ranging from natural wonders and visual feasts to historic sites and unknown grounds pushed the boundaries of this rapidly progressing sport in 2017. This pure extreme sport hit new as well as proven waters across Europe and North America before crowning the new champions at an original location in South America.<\/p>\n<p>The World Series, with its ever growing complexity of dives pushing the limits of what is physically possible, as well as the lengthening list of winners and increasing competition at the top, will celebrate its tenth season in 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dive into the final photo gallery of the 2017 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series:<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This

coming here to Chile I wanted to win this competition and put some pressure on Gary, but I knew that the winner was Gary; so I was more like I want to keep the second overall place and I wanted to win here and finish the year on a good position after many ups and downs. Right now I feel over the moon. Normally I cry the whole time, but today I\u2019m still in shock. I\u2019m so happy, a little bit sad for Gary, but that\u2019s the sport. I hope to keep this level for the years coming!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhiannan Iffland, AUS<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019m very very excited, especially coming here after Bosnia. Mentally it was tough; to block out these negative thoughts that something could go wrong again. Here I am and I finished the competition. I\u2019m in complete disbelieve that I\u2019m walking away in the top spot. I cannot believe it. So much energy is going through my body right now, everybody did so well this year; we saw so many strong dives from the women. It\u2019s an incredible feeling standing up there next to all these brave divers!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results &#8211; Stop #6, Lago Ranco | CHI<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>MEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1-\u00a0Jonathan Paredes\u00a0(MEX) \u2013 403.00pts.<br \/>\n2-\u00a0Michal Navratil\u00a0(CZE) \u2013 373.15<br \/>\n3-\u00a0Alessandro De Rose\u00a0(W) (ITA) \u2013 343.10<br \/>\n4-\u00a0Sergio Guzman\u00a0(MEX) \u2013 337.50<br \/>\n5-\u00a0Kris Kolanus\u00a0(POL) \u2013 330.90<br \/>\n6-\u00a0Blake Aldridge\u00a0(GBR) \u2013 327.65<br \/>\n7-\u00a0Andy Jones\u00a0(USA) \u2013 326.30<br \/>\n8-\u00a0Gary Hunt\u00a0(GBR) \u2013 282.60<br \/>\n9-\u00a0Nikita Fedotov\u00a0(W) (RUS) \u2013 228.40<br \/>\n10-\u00a0Steven LoBue\u00a0(USA) \u2013 224.80<br \/>\n11-\u00a0Orlando Duque\u00a0(COL) \u2013 221.70<br \/>\n12-\u00a0Kyle Mitrione\u00a0(W) (USA) \u2013 189.30<br \/>\n13- Miguel Garcia (W) (COL) \u2013 177.05<\/p>\n<p><strong>WOMEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1-\u00a0Rhiannan Iffland\u00a0(AUS) \u2013 279.60pts.<br \/>\n2-\u00a0Yana Nestsiarava\u00a0(W) (BLR) \u2013 264.85<br \/>\n3-\u00a0Helena Merten\u00a0(AUS) \u2013 248.10<br \/>\n4-\u00a0Anna Bader\u00a0(W) (GER) \u2013 229.70<br \/>\n5-\u00a0Jacqueline Valente\u00a0(W) (BRA) \u2013 197.50<br \/>\n6-\u00a0Cesilie Carlton\u00a0(USA) \u2013 157.80<br \/>\n7-\u00a0Adriana Jimenez\u00a0(MEX) \u2013 122.20<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Final standings\u00a0<\/strong>(after 6 of 6 stops)<br \/>\n<strong>MEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1-\u00a0Jonathan Paredes\u00a0(MEX) \u2013 720pts.<br \/>\n2-\u00a0Gary Hunt\u00a0(GBR) \u2013 710<br \/>\n3-\u00a0Blake Aldridge\u00a0(GBR) \u2013 580<br \/>\n4-\u00a0Alessandro De Rose\u00a0(W) (ITA) \u2013 530<br \/>\n5-\u00a0Andy Jones\u00a0(USA) \u2013 478<br \/>\n6-\u00a0David Colturi\u00a0(USA) \u2013 430<\/p>\n<p><strong>WOMEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1-\u00a0Rhiannan Iffland\u00a0(AUS) \u2013 890pts.<br \/>\n2-\u00a0Helena Merten\u00a0(AUS) \u2013 740<br \/>\n3-\u00a0Adriana Jimenez\u00a0(MEX) \u2013 690<br \/>\n4-\u00a0Ginger Huber\u00a0(USA) \u2013 520<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Red Bull\u00a0Cliff Diving\u00a0World Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since 2009, the Red Bull\u00a0Cliff Diving\u00a0World Series has provided a platform for exhilarating action and dives of ever-growing complexity.
