Britain's top cliff diver Gary Hunt relishing 'honour' of competing alongside Tom Daley at World Championships Hunt, who admits that the Red Bull tour has given him the travel bug, said: "Cliff diving has always been in a separate lane but to represent England again, I just feel very happy." After the Europeans in 2006, Hunt's coach received a call from an ex-Australian diver, who was looking for a diver for a month for a show in Italy. More often than not, he says, divers pursuing a career in cliff diving come straight from 10m platform and are found out when it comes to competition. Hunt said that the Italian job was a rare chance to consistently dive over 10m and the Briton, who has lived in Paris for two years, hasn't looked back since. He learnt his trade over the course of the year, started to gradually edge up towards 25m plus dives before joining the tour. The Red Bull series first started in 2009, having hosted two events the previous year. High diving has taken off to such an extent that International Olympic Committee members will be present in Barcelona to mull over its credentials as a future Olympic sport. The next time it can be added to the programme will be at the 2024 Games.
