The root-covered sacred well in the ecoarchaeological park of Cenote Ik Kil, Mexico, was the stunning location for the second stop of the 2011 Cliff Diving World Series on April 10th, which inspired the world’s high diving elite in a close fight for the podium.
Due to last-minute flight complications, Russian Artem Silchenko, who finished second in Rapa Nui, missed this weekend’s competition and lost his second place in the overall standings. His position has been taken by the Brit Hunt, with the 27-year-old Russian falling back to sixth.
