I made a mistake yesterday but I\u2019ve been in that situation before and I tried to remember those times when I had to come back; that\u2019s what I managed today. It definitely feels great to come back having won the competition last year.<\/p>\n<p>Last year they told me I\u2019ve never won diving off a bridge before; this year they said nobody has ever won this competition twice. I managed to do that. They\u2019ve also said whoever won here in Mostar, has never won the World Series. So I have one more job to do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_328315\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328315\" data-attachment-id=\"328315\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/gary-hunt-adriana-jimenez-edge-ahead-in-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving-rankings\/gary-hunt-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gary-hunt-mostar-red-bull-cliff-diving-2018.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" 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;Gary Hunt of Great Britain dives from the 27 metre platform on Stari Most during the final competition day of the sixth stop at the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina on September 8, 2018. \\\/\\\/ Predrag Vuckovic\\\/Red Bull Content Pool \\\/\\\/ AP-1WUC5XF892111 \\\/\\\/ Usage for editorial use only \\\/\\\/ Please go to www.redbullcontentpool.com for further information. \\\/\\\/&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1536357600&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Predrag Vuckovic\\\/Red Bull Content Pool&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;Gary Hunt&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gary Hunt\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Gary Hunt of Great Britain dives from the 27 metre platform on Stari Most during the final competition day of the sixth stop at the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina on September 8, 2018. \/\/ Predrag Vuckovic\/Red Bull Content Pool \/\/ AP-1WUC5XF892111 \/\/ Usage for editorial use only \/\/ Please go to www.redbullcontentpool.com for further information. \/\/ AP-1WUC5XF892111&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Predrag Vuckovic\/Red Bull Content Pool&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gary-hunt-mostar-red-bull-cliff-diving-2018-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gary-hunt-mostar-red-bull-cliff-diving-2018-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-328315\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gary-hunt-mostar-red-bull-cliff-diving-2018-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Gary Hunt of Great Britain dives from the 27 metre platform on Stari Most during the final competition day of the sixth stop at the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina on September 8, 2018. \/\/ Predrag Vuckovic\/Red Bull Content Pool \/\/ AP-1WUC5XF892111 \/\/ Usage for editorial use only \/\/ Please go to www.redbullcontentpool.com for further information. \/\/\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-328315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Hunt &#8211; Photo Courtesy: Predrag Vuckovic\/Red Bull Content Pool<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Adriana Jimenez, MEX<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019m really proud of myself.
