And what an experience! Olympic diver Greg Louganis served as one of the judges, one of the greatest Olympic divers of all-time and an accomplished platform diver. Platform cliff diving is no easy feat. As you may know, the Olympic diving platform goes only up to 10 meters.
Anything over that would not be survivable head first, which is why the cliff divers land feet first. A belly flop might prove deadly; head first, a loss of consciousness and likely death from blunt trauma. For me, a successful dive was one in which the diver survived. But I was also thinking to myself, they may have survived the dive, but what are the long term effects of exposure to Boston Harbor water, which is not known to be the most pristine.
I hope the guys took a decontamination dip immediately following the event. One thing was clear: Red Bull did seem to give them all wings. Diving Highlights. Diving is a pretty crazy sport; it is. I watched some of the Olympic Trials this afternoon and wondered what would possess someone to jump off a platform and do four and half flips.
And the handstand into a four twisting double reverse inward triple in the pike position — come on, the name for these stunts, and they are stunts, are difficult enough. I want to know what happened to the cliff divers? I was hoping to watch the Olympic Cliff Diving Trials, but was deeply disturbed to find out there are none.
Not sure where the event will be at the London Olympics, maybe the Cliffs of Moher; careful on those jaggedy rocks, Eugene. The ICA is committed to providing access to the art and artists of our time—and we do this with the incredible support of our community.
