I remember watching the 'World Series of Cliff Diving' on TV as a kid in the 1970's when it was featured on ABC's Wide World of Sports, and being really mesmerized by the spectacle.
I hadn't seen it since, though. So I was surprised to see THIS New York Daily News article today, which includes several spectacular photos of the current championships, which are apparently taking place in the Azores.
I had remembered it as an event held in Mexico and dominated by Mexican men who looked like Fabio. So I was also surprised to read that, in this year's "Diving Championships," the leader board was topped by an American and a Russian. I was a lot less surprised, however, to read that the title sponsor of this event is now Red Bull.
