00:01Up for a dive in Tobago?
00:03Well Dodds Diving League stole the spotlight on Saturday with several foreign based participants bringing the sport to the sister
00:10isle.
00:11And yes, there are rules and judging procedures in this competition as participants jump off a platform 31 meters in
00:19the air.
00:19So is it painful when you land?
00:25Boom and he just jumped here in Tobago.
00:28When it comes to scoring, divers are given points for their creativity while in the air, their landing and ability
00:35to resurface quickly.
00:36That dive landed him a 6.46 mark out of 10.
00:41Trinidad and Tobago was represented in the competition as well by Varian Benjamin.
00:52Nice!
00:54I love that little dance he did on the end of the platform, just like a nice stride.
00:59He was eliminated in the quarterfinals with a 3.90 point dive.
01:04The women were represented as well.
01:10Oh nice!
01:11No way!
01:13Lina with a front flip!
01:15I love myself a front flip Dodds.
01:17In the end, the youthfulness of the winner, Hermann Solstar would surprise you.
01:28Oh my goodness!
01:30That had it all.
01:31Had a powerful run.
01:33It was technical.
01:34Take a second look.
01:35It landed him a solid 9.
01:37And no one would surpass him on the day.
01:39He was pleased with his performance.
01:41You said you had something special.
01:43Yes.
01:43And you did give us something special.
01:44Yes.

01:47I'm so happy.
01:48Yes.
01:49So much relief as well.
01:50Oh, it's great man.
01:51From a boy to a king.
01:52He stayed in the hot seat.
01:54Man, you'll be invited so it's straight to the finals for you.
01:56Yeah.
01:56It's the start of the season.
01:58What else do you have planned?
02:00Dude, I'm traveling a lot this season.
02:02But to start off the season like this, it's like if you didn't have gotten any better, I'm just
02:06so happy.
02:07Yeah?
02:08Yeah.
02:08I have my words.
02:10Organizers are hoping the event continues to grow in TNT as they hope to return to challenge
02:14the best athletes, crazy enough to jump off the platform.
