The second stop of the 2010 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series was won by Gary Hunt but that's only part of the story.
In the divers' own words, here is a rundown of the week that was in Mexico...
Kent De Mond on what he saw after his arrival at Cenote Ik Kil...
'It’s an awesome location, I think one of the best ones so far. It’s such an unusual place.'
Orlando Duque after the first day of training...
'It’s a little bit more comfortable. In La Rochelle you wanted to get out of the water as quickly as possible but here you cruise around a bit and chat to the scuba divers.'
Wildcard Fito Gutierrez on the 'fear factor'...
'The first dive is the main one and I thought I did okay. You have to be nervous to get it right but, yes, I was a bit scared!'
Michal Navratil on what he really wants for his birthday on Saturday...
'My birthday wish? I wish I could do my new dive that I prepared a few months ago!'
Gary Hunt discusses Artem Silchenko’s 'crazy' new dive...
'It's the only difficult dive with a blind entry. It's not the most difficult in terms of DD but having the guts to do it makes it the hardest for me.'
Steve Black on giving birth...
'It’s a high diver’s nightmare getting lost in the air. It was a challenge doing it again today but I got it off and it felt like having a baby – that’s how much of a relief it was!'
Artem Silchenko is a man of few words...
'Second place in Red Bull Cliff Diving...beautiful!'
Gary Hunt, winner of Cliff Diving Mexico, reveals his secret. Kind of...
'I’ve been playing online poker, I’m not sure that’s my secret, but it certainly helps take my mind off the competition!'
