Показать описание
The world's best cliff divers will leap from the famous old Stari Most bridge into the chilly waters of the Neretva River in beautiful Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It's no wonder that Mostar's famous old bridge has served up so much recent drama. For three years in a row, Stari Most has played host to the penultimate stop of the season, a crucial point at which pressure can make or break an athlete's season.

In 2019, Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland secured their titles here, while Constantin Popovici scored five 10s for a perfect dive. In 2018, Steven LoBue allowed the British record winner Hunt back into a thrilling title fight after missing the podium. And in 2017, Iffland almost lost her crown after a poor warm-up entry left her injured and out of the competition.

This season, the UNESCO World Heritage Site stands out as the first location on the calendar that's not completely new to the athletes and their dives into the chilly waters of the Neretva River will once again inspire the local diving tradition.

Diving off Stari Most dates back to the 17th century, when young men started to dive from the country's most recognizable landmark in a sort of maturity test in a very traditional technique. Today, the fine art of cliff diving is equally respected.

Built in the 16th century, the iconic bridge gracefully arches over the emerald water of Neretva River, connecting two parts of the old town in Mostar. On both sides surrounded by fortified towers, it fits seamlessly into the landscape, creating an impressive sight.

Created by Mimar Hayruddin, disciple of the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, legend has it that the builder never saw the bridge completed, as he left before the scaffolding was removed, having no strength to see if the bridge would stand. Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent threatened to decapitate him if the bridge fell.

Eternalised in the city's flag and coat of arms, life in Mostar has been centred on the bridge ever since its construction. Equally iconic as the bridge is the image of a diver soaring through the air from it towards the fast, cold water of Neretva River.

I just want to say to all the athletes how amazing they are... I just discovered Red Bull cliff diving in 2019, and I was so much looking forward to seeing the 2020 competitions as a new fan, but we all know what happened next... so, when I heard the season was on for 2021 I was beyond excited! I've never been the type to enjoy sports, but cliff diving has won my heart over. I don't want to sound overly emotional, but I always get teary eyed watching the divers, because of the absolute beauty of the sport, and knowing the immense hard work the divers put into perfecting their craft, and knowing how dangerous the dives are, so many little things culminating in this beautiful display of what the human body, and spirit, is capable of. I'm so happy Red Bull puts these videos on youtube for us to watch for free because watching the divers has brought me so much joy. Fan for life.

Украина, Вы лучшие в галактике!!!! Сердце в пятках, у меня останавливалось дыхание на каждом Вашем прыжке и восстанавливалось лишь после того, когда видел знак «ок» на поверхности!
Это невероятно!!! Я Вами горжусь!!
Жаль, что правила настолько суровы и что 2 касания это уже фол.. Но главное это сложность прыжка и сила перебороть волнение да и не летную погоду! У Вас все впереди, Вы лучшие!
Победа это оторваться от той платформы с невероятным вращением и выжить!!! Все остальное уже тонкости! Я счастлив, что увидел своих земляков среди лучших и самых отчаянных в мире ныряльщиков!!!
Низкий Вам поклон и уважение!!!
