Cliff diving’s marquee event thrilled spectators in Boston as the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series made the 100th stop in its history.

A men's competitor David Colturi takes a practice dive in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Boston. – Rhiannan Iffland stepped to the edge of a platform nearly seven stories above Boston Harbor, thousands of cheering fans packed onto docks, roofs and sidewalks below, and soared through the air with the city's skyline disappearing behind her as she rocketed toward the tea-brown water.

Iffland's victory was part of cliff diving's marquee event, which came to the hub of New England as the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series made the 100th stop in its history. Participants plunged from up to 90 feet in the air from the waterfront art museum into the chilly harbor below. British diver Aidan Heslop won the men's competition and said, “We've all got our work cut out for us” for the rest of the series.

Practice and early competition rounds were held Friday. Judges scores Saturday's competitive round based on the divers' form and technique. Two dozen people competed.
