Orlando Duque started out diving in swimming pools but quickly became tired of the regimented scene. Diving off cliffs seemed more of a challenge!
With an extraordinary natural talent, Orlando has won 13 world titles in total: nine Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series events, FINA High Diving World Champion (2013), FINA High Diving World Cup winner twice (2014 and 2015) and the first ever overall champion of Red Bull Cliff Diving.
