Transcript

0:08 Speaker A: My name is Rhiannon Ifland, I come from Australia and I'm a Red Bullcliffe diver. Speaker A: I began diving at the age of 10 years old. Speaker A: As a child I was always energetic and enthusiastic. Speaker A: I began trampolining and and my parents decided to mix my love for water sports and acrobatics together. Speaker A: And then I ended up at the pool.

0:33 Speaker A: And from 10 years old I've never looked back. Speaker A: In Australia, I'm normally training at home at Lambton Pool in Newcastle, or I'm either traveling to Brisbane for training camps and training blocks. Speaker A: My first cliff diving event was in 2016 in texas, usa in possum kingdom lake.

1:12 Speaker A: I came in as a wild card as the rookie and I walked away the winner of that event. Speaker A: So that was my first event and very, very, I think, my biggest success there's probably two. Speaker A: Chile, the World Series final in 2017, overcoming an injury from the penultimate stop in Bosnia.

1:48 Speaker A: And taking out the world title there. Speaker A: And also 2019, an undefeated season. Speaker A: My favourite dive is certainly my inward triple half tuck from 20 meters. Speaker A: It was my most consistent dive over the last couple of years.

2:13 Speaker A: It's a great feeling. Speaker A: I always seem to have a lot of confidence when competing this dive. Speaker A: I always leave it to last because I love the feeling. Speaker A: When I take off the platform, I remember to keep my chin up, I spin, I rotate, I see once the platform, then I see the water again, coming around, come out of the tuck position, fly and then silence, hitting the water.

2:38 Speaker A: My goals and my dreams are obviously to keep pushing myself as an athlete and as a diver as far as I possibly can when it comes to competition. Speaker A: But also my goal is to keep traveling the world and finding as many beautiful and amazing locations as possible around the world.

3:06 Speaker A: My favourite hobby next to diving is 100% surfing. Speaker A: I grew up as a young child always surrounded by the beach. Speaker A: So it's just second nature for me to be there and to be surrounded by the ocean. Speaker A: It's also something that I do to take my mind away from everything for fitness on a different level. Speaker A: To surf with friends is just the best feeling in the world and, you know, it's something that I challenge myself in as well.

3:34 Speaker A: Outside of diving.
