Red Bull Cliff Diving series will be coming to Montreal this summer
Fans of extreme sports will be pleased to learn that the Red Bull Cliff Diving series will be coming to Montreal late this summer.
Cliff diving is an elite extreme sport and the ultimate display of focus and skill. In the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, 12 men and 12 women compete at every event to earn maximum championship points. Launching from a platform height of 27m for male divers and 21m for female competitors, each diver is judged by a panel on their acrobatics and artistic moves during the dive. At the end of every season a champion is crowned in the women’s and men’s categories and awarded the coveted King Kahekili trophy, as well as a winner’s prize fund.

The event will be the first time the Red Bull Cliff Diving series comes to Canada – and Montreal will be one of eight stops on the calendar for the 2024 season. Taking place on August 25th at the Port of Montreal’s Grand Quay
Molly Carson, a 25-year-old native of Thunder Bay, Ontario, who now calls Montreal home, finished second in the overall standings last season – and should surely return to Montreal to a rowdy crowd, as Montreal is known to support its own.
Red Bull found great success on the streets of Quebec City, when it would bring its Crashed Ice series to the city. While the series hasn’t been run since the 2019 season, it brought hundreds of thousands of people out to witness the downhill skating event that ran down the streets, over the cliff that separates Haux villes from Bas villes, at break neck speeds to the delight of all that had gathered.
Surely Red Bull Cliff Diving will bring the same results from Montreal.
