Cliff diving its cliff diving gives me this great sense of freedom up there im on my own any sort of untouchable me and when i take off and im in the advantage that is a moment of weightlessness and thats what freedom feels like to me yes its nothing i hate im. One of europes most popular cliff diving locations is near the Swiss Village of pont a brother here northwest of locarno some of the worlds best high divers compete in the annual european championships. Challenge office vital since cliff divers cannot afford to slip they hit the water at such high speeds that the Water Surface can act like concrete thats why they all was into the water feature 1st. Hitting the surface at a bad angle after a 20 meter drop is like being in a fairly serious Traffic Accident resulting in broken bones sprains and dislocated joints but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly low. And say heres essential it helps us to be focused and avoid becoming reckless while the. Safe year is generally a good thing for us we need to prepare ourselves mentally before the dive and then visum a jump in our minds.

That really now that i have a family i have less time to train and prepare for competition and i think thats why i decided to slow down a little and do easy a jump. Still even in 2017 i achieved better results than ever before because. As a child and i did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed one day when she was on vacation. As exist in babylon i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals typing off the cliff by ricks cafe is easy its ricks cafe and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so it did that one thing we dont have you know the local said you have that all your professional lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut.

Im european champion placed 2nd. Escaped a mandate ken there are a plenty other high level competition and with many more opportunities to train and die and thats especially great for us women it was always my dream even when i just started out that that eventually being real competitions to take part in. Her dream has come true but on a potters not finished yet when faced with a challenge shes always ready to take the plunge.
