Live: Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Finals 2019

The most courageous divers will fight for the title of champion in Bilbao.

Already today, the biggest Spanish city of Bilbao will host the final stage of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, where high divers from all over the world will fight for the championship title and the King Kahekili trophy. Among the participants of the uncompromising struggle you will see both experienced divers and new, but no less courageous athletes. In addition, in the final stage of the season not only men, but also women will jump from the heights of the picturesque La Salve Bridge for the first time.

High-diving (or cliff-diving) is a type of diving that is truly breathtaking. Jumping into open water is performed from a great height, so not everyone can dare to take part in such competitions.

Obligatory elements in cliff diving are a steep cliff and open water with a depth of 5 meters or more. The flight lasts three seconds. During this time the athlete accelerates up to 85 km/h. That is, the sensation of falling into the water is not pleasant. But it doesn’t stop these guys.

The Russian-language broadcast starts today, at 19:00 (MSC), duration – 90 min. The broadcast will open and will be available to all readers at the link.

Vadim Babeshkin will be commenting on the broadcast. The experienced aquablogger is also a master of sports in diving and European champion in cliff diving. We are sure that Vadim will explain all the nuances of the competition.
