2008 Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship

Colombian cliff diver Orlando Duque won the 2008 Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship that took place at the Port of Hamburg, Germany from August 19 -- 23. Following previous years when cliff diving has been featured in natural settings, this year marked a first for both Germany and an urban environment. The world's best cliff divers assembled at the top of a sailing ship, only to plunge downwards with their bodies reaching speeds of 90 kilometres per hour.
