For Iffland, it was a record-breaking fourth win in a row this season, while Hunt had to be at his imperious best to see off the marauding challenge of Mexico&#8217;s <strong>Jonathan Paredes<\/strong>, who himself broke a long standing record by earning six 10 scorecards across the weekend. The World Series was also making a record eighth stop at the volcanic mid-Atlantic location, which awaited the cliff diving elite with demanding conditions.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Iffland, who had begun the week with a 10 in her very first dive from 21m, continued her unstoppable form despite the disruptions caused by bad weather at the fourth stop of the season. Just like three weeks ago in Polignano a Mare, the Australian dominated from start to finish, winning by an impressive 22 point margin from England&#8217;s <strong>Jessica Macaulay<\/strong> in second place, her first podium as a permanent diver, and Canada&#8217;s <strong>Lysanne Richard<\/strong> in third.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Hunt, this was not the easy ride he had recently in Italy when winning by a massive 50 point margin. Instead, he was pushed to his limits by the sensational performance of 2017 champion Paredes, who began and ended the competition with three 10s, surpassing the Brit&#8217;s combined record of five times the highest note from the jury at a single stop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-376939-1-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\\\/2019\\\/06\\\/blake-aldridge-azores-2019-red-bull-cliff-diving.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;376949&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Blake Aldridge&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Blake Aldridge of the UK dives from the 27 metre platform at Islet Vila Franca do Campo during the final competition day of the fourth stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal on June 22, 2019. \\\/\\\/ Dean Treml\\\/Red Bull Content Pool \\\/\\\/ AP-1ZQRPK6GH2111 \\\/\\\/ Usage for editorial use only \\\/\\\/ Please go to www.redbullcontentpool.com for further information. \\\/\\\/&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Blake Aldridge of the UK dives into the waters of Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal;

Just three points separated them at the end, with the resurgent American <strong>Andy Jones<\/strong> finishing third to earn his second podium in a row.<\/p>\n<p>In the overall standings this trio leads the board with the Brit clearly ahead on top and Paredes and Jones tied in 2nd place. In the women\u2019s it\u2019s the sport\u2019s dominant force from down under who tops the overall standings in front of today\u2019s podium finishers Richard and Macaulay.<\/p>\n<p>After an eventful final day at the \u2018Princess Ring\u2019, where athletes had to complete three dives instead of the usual two due to the weather disruptions on Friday and veterans as well as rising talent were put to the test, the cliff diving elite will next travel to a brand new location in Beirut, Lebanon. In mid July, 24 athletes will once again be tasked with diving both from the platforms and the bare rocks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Quotes from the winners<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gary Hunt, GBR<br \/>\n<\/strong>The reason I put the triple quad at the end is because I knew I can do it under pressure. I\u2019ve been in that situation before and I knew Jonathan would put the pressure on right till the end. So I felt comfortable with that.<\/p>\n<p>You have to feed on it and do enjoy it; there is a lot you can take from experience. Somewhere like this it\u2019s very hard to come here as a newcomer and do well. It\u2019s so different, so unique and it\u2019s my eighth time here, so I\u2019m a veteran nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just going to ride this wave of confidence. It\u2019s the best thing you can bring into a competition. The best thing you can bring to a competition is confidence and last year I definitely didn\u2019t have that from the start; I had to build it up and I\u2019m still riding that wave now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhiannan Iffland, AUS<br \/>\n<\/strong>People were asking me coming into this event about that record and telling me that I can win 4 in a row; I didn\u2019t want to think about it until the event was done, now it\u2019s done I can celebrate it. I didn\u2019t want to add an extra pressure to the event. I just wanted to go in and play my game and compete as per usual and it paid off for me.<br \/>\nYou just have to look around to realize what makes this place special. It\u2019s really a cliff diver\u2019s paradise; it\u2019s the perfect spot. We have the platforms to do our hard dives and then we have awesome spots everywhere on the island to dive from the cliffs. It\u2019s fun to come out here and play as well as compete.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve won the first four now and I think now I can be a bit more relaxed, but I still have goals to achieve and things I set out at the beginning of the year that I want to achieve, so I don\u2019t think anything is over. It\u2019s three more events and anything can happen, so it\u2019s going to be full ball until the last dive in the last event.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Results \u2013 Stop #4, S\u00e3o Miguel, Azores, POR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>MEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1- Gary Hunt GBR \u2013 420.60pts.<br \/>\n2- Jonathan Paredes MEX \u2013 417.50<br \/>\n3- Andy Jones USA \u2013 375.45<br \/>\n4- Michal Navratil CZE \u2013 362.45<br \/>\n5- Oleksiy Prygorov UKR \u2013 365.55<br \/>\n6- Catalin Preda (W) ROU \u2013 329.40<br \/>\n7- David Colturi USA \u2013 317.70<br \/>\n8- Nikita Fedotov (W) RUS \u2013 313.85<br \/>\n9- Slavik Kolesnikov (W) URK \u2013 306.05<br \/>\n10- Blake Aldridge GBR \u2013 299.75<br \/>\n11- Kris Kolanus POL \u2013 272.35<br \/>\n12- Steven LoBue USA \u2013 255.90<br \/>\n13- Manuel Halbisch (W) GER \u2013 215.60<br \/>\n14- Jucelino Junior (W) BRA \u2013 140.65<\/p>\n<p><strong>WOMEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1- Rhiannan Iffland AUS \u2013 326.80pts.<br \/>\n2- Jessica Macaulay GBR \u2013 304.70<br \/>\n3- Lysanne Richard CAN \u2013 298.30<br \/>\n4- Eleanor Townsend Smart USA \u2013 287.95<br \/>\n5- Adriana Jimenez MEX \u2013 279.65<br \/>\n6- Iris Schmidbauer (W) GER \u2013 258.80<br \/>\n7- Jacqueline Valente (W) BRA \u2013 250.00<br \/>\n8- Maria Paula Quintero (W) COL \u2013 219.75<br \/>\n9- Yana Nestsiarava BLR \u2013 216.75<br \/>\n10- Celia Fernandez (W) ESP \u2013 175.10<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standings* <\/strong>(after 4 of 7 stops)<br \/>\n<strong>MEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1- Gary Hunt GBR \u2013 600pts.<br \/>\n2- Andy Jones USA \u2013 350<br \/>\n2- Jonathan Paredes MEX \u2013 350<br \/>\n4- Michal Navratil CZE \u2013 280<br \/>\n5- Kris Kolanus POL \u2013 220<\/p>\n<p><strong>WOMEN<br \/>\n<\/strong>1- Rhiannan Iffland AUS \u2013 600pts.<br \/>\n2- Lysanne Richard CAN \u2013 370<br \/>\n3- Jessica Macaulay GBR \u2013 360<br \/>\n4- Yana Nestsiarava BLR\u2013 330<br \/>\n5- Maria Paula Quintero (W) COL \u2013 210<\/p>\n<p>*With the revised format due to cold water, the Ireland results did not count towards the Red Bull <a class=\"highlight\" href=\"https:\/\/www.redbullcontentpool.com\/search\/topic\/Cliff%20Diving?layout=advanced\">Cliff Diving<\/a> World Series standings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since 2009, the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series has provided a platform for aesthetic free-falls and dives of ever growing complexity, spotlighting the sport\u2019s finest athletes as well as the most promising talents and in 2014 it introduced a Women\u2019s World Series.
