After exploding onto the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in 2016 with a debut victory in Texas, Rhiannan Iffland has gone on to rack up unparalleled records in the sport. With seven World Series titles, 35 wins in 43 stops, three World Aquatics High Diving gold medals and two full seasons unbeaten, Iffland is the most decorated female athlete in the history of cliff diving.

An avid trampolinist from a young age, the Newcastle native began diving at the age of nine and admits to being ‘petrified’ the first time she clambered up onto a platform. Soon enough, though, she was competing regularly from 3m and 10m before utilising her acrobatic skills to entertain crowds on cruise ships in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. It was during this time that she was first introduced to high diving.
