Legend Hunt gets his 4th win at Beiruts Cliffs | Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2019 - Beirut (LBN) - Winning Dive Men

In the men’s a sensational final dive gave record winner Hunt a runaway victory at the 5th stop of the season. At his brilliant best, the 35-year-old finished off with a perfect 10 dive, after he’d ripped his first dive directly off the cliff into the Mediterranean Sea to earn two 10s from the judges, to surpass Jonathan Paredes’ (MEX) combined record of six times the highest note from the jury at a single stop. 40 points behind the Brit, America’s Colturi finished in 2nd place after a slow start in this pure venue while invitee Preda from Romania took his second third place in his overall 4th showing. Gary Hunt (GBR): “I’m very happy. Yesterday we hat one less dive than usual. I made the decision not to practice my dives in training, to try and stay as fresh as possible. So within 4 or 5 dives and I finished the competition with another win. I think it was challenging because of the weather and the waves. We couldn’t even go over to the islet on the boat yesterday. We had to zipline across, everything was up in the air. I just have to try and stay strong and focused. My goal as always is to do four strong dives. I’m setting no other goal than this this year.”
