Red Bull Cliff Diving: La Rochelle

Twelve men, eight challenging competitions and 26 metres between take-off and dive. Physical mastery, pure aesthetics, deathly silence and crackling tension - that's the formula the new Red Bull Cliff Diving Series 2009 is made of. Between May and September 2009, the world's best divers will level up the sport and compete in eight different countries at impressive locations for the overall title. At the venues spread all over Europe, tens of thousands of spectators will cheer for them - and at the decisive moment of the dive, they will be so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
