Czech Rep hosts cliff and high diving competition

High diving competitors at a water reservoir in rural Czech Republic beat the heat, Friday, by jumping into water by up to 25 meters high platforms. It takes place within an abandoned quarry outside the capital of Prague.

The jumping categories are 12, 16 and 25 meters and for some divers victory would mean a ticket to attend further competitions in Europe.

Genevieve Bradley, high diver said "It's like the best feeling in the world. And you feel like you're sliding through butter and that's, like, amazing, like, relaxing, not really relaxing, like, relieving feeling."

The two-day high diving competition, called The Desperadoes, is an international event attracting competitors from all around Europe and the United States.
