In the cliff divers' own words, here is a recap of the week that was in Norway:
Orlando Duque on close encounters...
"There were lots of jellyfish around. We saw them... but we managed to avoid them – this time."
Wildcard Magnus Vigeland celebrates a first...
"This is the first high-diving competition in Norway ever and I’m very happy to show the people what high diving means."
Which is what Artem Silchenko wanted to do as well...
"My aim is not for a repeat of Mexico. I want to win always. Second is good but I want to win."
Kent De Mond explains why he won't be trying his new dive just yet...
"If you’ve got any doubts you’re better off not risking it. It’s not so much physical but the long-term mental effects of crashing."
Gary Hunt reflects on his third successive win...
"I’ve very recently come from 10m Olympic-style diving and I think that makes my form a little tighter."
And what Steve Black thinks...
"I’m happy for Gary, he was a little bit of a rebel last year but he’s concentrated on what he needs to do."
Gary Hunt's raised the bar for the other divers, including Orlando Duque...
"I missed my dives a little bit and you can’t expect to win making mistakes."
