Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2012 - Oman - The Grand Final Highlights

Englishman Gary Hunt wins Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2012 It was the red-hot final that everybody expected and it was a battle until the very last dive. Leading the standings going into the final round, Orlando Duque, of Colombia, had the honour of taking the season's last plunge at Wadi Shab, in the Sultanate of Oman. The Brit had just set the day's high score of 173.25 points and the pressure was on the Colombian. As soon as he had hit the water it was clear that the higher degree of difficulty had paid off for Gary Hunt, as the judges awarded the same number of points to the two contenders, crowning Gary Hunt with the World Series championship title for the third time. 5000 enthusiastic spectators witnessed the most thrilling final showdown and the first ever cliff diving competition on Arabian soil in the presence of His Highness Sayyed Tareq bin Shabib Al Said. In seven stops across Europe, North America and the Middle East in the last 14 weeks the cliff diving elite was put to the test, awarding only the top-five divers from 27 metres with a ticket for the 2013 season. © Red Bull Media House
