Intro:

Artem Silchenko of Russia won the final stop on the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series to take the overall title in Krabi, Thailand on Saturday (26th October).

Script:

The eighth and final stop on the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series took place against the stunning caves of Krabi in Thailand.

The competition consisted of eight dives at four different locations - with Artem Silchenko propelling himself into first place by the final dive site.

The Russian needed to capture first or second place in Thailand to deny Britain's Gary Hunt the overall title.

Ten time world champion Orlando Duque of Colombia claimed third place with a well executed reverse double somersault with 4 twists from his final dive.

Steven LoBue of the US was in last place following the first dive, but clawed his way back into contention and finished second with some consistent performances.

In 2012, Silchenko secured a massive 518.30 points in the final to register the highest ever score in a Cliff Diving World Series competition and finished fourth overall.
