Rotterdam

The historic Leuvehaven in Rotterdam played host to the second Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series event for the 2009 season. 12 of the world's best divers launched from the diving platform amongst the steel towers looming above the cold waters of the Dutch harbour. The divers not only battled the fear of launching from 27m, but also adverse weather conditions... and an extra hard landing in cooler water! It was Colombian Orlando Duque who took the win, pushing back against his rival Ukrainian Andrey Igntenko, as Gary Hunt once again stepped onto the third step of the podium.
