Two-time world champion Iffland jumped into the water from a hot air balloon
–
The 29-year-old Australian is a seasoned competitor jumping into the water. She has won two gold medals at the World Championships, and has won the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series four times.
But jumping from a moving platform was something else for the athlete. “We have just been the first in the world to jump out of a hot air balloon. I was the first woman in the world to go down. It’s a very strange feeling, it all happened so fast, “Iffland commented.
The competitor had to prepare carefully for everything. But she had enough time, last season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the first race of the new year in extreme dives is planned for June.
“I can’t wait to calm down, replay those moments in my head, and think about what just happened. To be honest, it was like being in a tunnel since morning. It was so exciting, “Iffland said.
