A high rock and some deep water -- the only two things needed to make a cliff diver's heart beat faster. Searching, finding, conquering and enjoying a cliff and the rush that goes through the body after a dive.
When it comes to cliff diving, France knows what's up. France hosted the very first competition back in May 2009, and La Rochelle's St Nicolas Tower has proved to be the scariest venue to date.
70,000 spectators, winds up to 37mph (60kph) and 12 athletes competitive to the core. La Rochelle added a few more superlatives to its collection during the 4th stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series
The 'Grande Nation' is eagerly waiting for its high diving hero's first podium finish: Cyrille Oumedjkane has proven his claim for the top 3 this season. Will his countrymen's support help him to step on the podium?
