Iffland and Hunt win in epic Philippines cliff diving

The world's best cliff divers returned to El Nido in the Philippines for the first time since 2019 as the 16th season of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series got underway on Sunday, April 13.

Competitors leaped from 27m (men) and 21m (women) into the Pacific Ocean surrounded by huge limestone formations for the season opener.

Undisputed champion Rhiannan Iffland scored two 9.5s and three 9s for her final dive to secure victory ahead of Kaylea Arnett (USA) in second and Nelli Chukanivska (UKR) in third.

01:32techniques and things like that.
01:34And yeah, I'm super, super happy.
