In podcast #3 Orlando Duque sits down with the most decorated female cliff diver the sport has ever seen. Rhiannan Iffland. The Australian clean swept the 2019 season winning all 7 stops of the World Series and the FINA high diving world championships. As gender equality will become reality in the upcoming season, the 4-time champ talks about female empowerment in extreme sports and how she plans to stay ahead of the pack.
As the very first guest in his podcast, Orlando chose someone who fully understands the life and career of a high diver; there’s no better fit than High Diving World Champion and 2019 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Champion Gary Hunt from Great Britain.. They talk about last season, the battle between the brilliant Brit and rising star Constantin Popovici, the ever-growing athleticism in the sport and who will be the ones to watch out for in the upcoming year.
