Hello everyone and welcome to updates from the latest stop in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series! We're here on the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo, approximately 1,400 kilometres west of mainland Portugal in what feels like the middle of the Atlantic!

It's two of the favourites up next, Gary Hunt and Jonathan Paredes... Gary's execution of a reverse somersault is much better than his Seeding Round dive yesterday, but Paredes is able to match the Brit with a double somersault and one and a half twist. Both men have received 9s from the judges, and Jonathan is still in the lead...

Diving directly off the cliff is a different kind of challenge for the divers. Cliff diving has evolved into a platform sport, meaning the athletes are less used to feeling the rock under their feet. Some are able to cope with the environment better than others!
