Artem Silchenko in action
The next Red Bull Cliff Diving event comes to Inis Mor in Ireland this coming weekend and fesh off it's recent stop in The Azores, it's likely to be another mind-blowing competition.
But, taking you back to the volcanic archipelago of the Azores last week, where 0.1 points decided the winner of the third stop of the 2012 World Series, here's a video of the all the excitment, drama and highs and lows of the event.
It was the closest victory to date since the kick-off of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in 2009 and made Russia’s Artem Silchenko the third winner in three competitions this season.
Orlando Duque (COL) came just behind, in second place, but 
regained the overall lead of the 2012 World Series. He was followed by World Series champion Gary Hunt (UK). More than 2,000 spectators crowded the waters around the 28m take-off points on the offshore islet of Vila Franca do Campo to watch the 13 athletes go back to the roots and jump directly off the cliff face in the competition’s first two rounds.
Europe’s weather lab lived up to its name and provided windy, cloudy and at the same time sunny and wavy conditions. The most picturesque landscape on island and islet was only emphasised by the spectators’ standing ovations for the divers.
This “Rock’n’Dive” experience had never been seen before in a Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series stop and was a very special moment for the athletes as well as the spectators.
For all the breath-taking moments from the action-packed weekend check out the video below.
