Cliff diving’s marquee event comes to the hub of New England
These athletes are on edge. The edge of a Boston art museum, that is. Cliff diving's marquee event comes to the hub of New England on Saturday as the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series makes the 100th stop in its history. Participants will plunge from up to 90 feet in the air from the Institute of Contemporary Art into Boston Harbor below. The Boston diving event is the only U.S. stop this year. The series wraps up in Sydney, Australia, in November.
Cliff diving attracts a special kind of athlete, especially when winning means leaping from an art museum into potentially frigid waters below, organizers said. “These epic athletes train super hard to make sure every leap, somersault, twist and entry is perfect,” organizers said in a statement. Practice rounds were held Friday. The competitive portion of the series is scheduled for early Saturday afternoon. The series has come to Boston three years in a row and is open to the public.
