Last weekend, ten daredevils completed life threatening jumps off a 27-metre platform for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Portugal. British diver Gary Hunt claimed gold in the heat, by completing a perfect backdrop into the ocean.

Hundreds of spectators packed into boats at Vila Franca do Campo islet offshore from São Miguel in the Azores, cheered on Southampton-born Hunt, who was the youngest diver in the competition.

Hunt was thrilled with his performance: “I am ecstatic!" said the athlete, “I have been trying really hard. It has just been so tough this season.

“My last dive was good, I saw some nines up there and it felt like I went through the water nicely.”

The next stop in the competition is at Lake Garda, Northern Italy, in two weeks time.
