Cliff Diving in Boston – Touchdown for Gary Hunt

2012 Aug

Boston is widely known as a sports-mad city and today’s fifth stop of the World Series proved this nickname true. 47.000 spectators and more than two hundred boats crowded the area around the Institute of Contemporary Art building late Saturday afternoon to see US diver David Colturi take his first ever podium in front of his home crowd.

Englishman Gary Hunt repeated his victory from the 27.5m platform on America’s East Coast after 2011 and Colombia’s Orlando Duque made up eleven positions to finish in second place. The top five in the overall standings remain unchanged, only the gaps become closer to make this season even more thrilling.
