About
The half-time stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving Series 2009 probably provides the most unusual location: the divers’ platform is fixed on a private house balcony. The house is built over the most famous cliff of the coast and looks integrated into the cliff itself. Within the international high diving scene this spot is renowned for its uniqueness and hosted the most successful cliff diving event in 2008: more than 20.000 spectators watched champions like the Colombian Orlando Duque and the Russian Sergey Zotin who both scored 162.00 points in a single jump. Polignano a Mare is a typical south Italian town in the province of Bari in Apulia and home for just a little more than 16.000 people. Known as birth place of Domenico Modugno, writer and interpreter of the world famous song “Volare” and well-known in the region for its delicious ice cream.
