‼️FINAL STOP POSTPONED‼️
the much-anticipated finale of the 2023 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, originally set for November 19 in Auckland 🇳🇿 has been rescheduled for the weekend of January 27/28
NEW DATE 🗓️ Sunday, January 28 2024
ℹ️ This unfortunate delay results from a significant water quality concern in the Waitematā Harbour. A significant rupture in a vital sewer line has caused the emergence of a substantial sinkhole.
As a result of this, the local iwi has placed a rāhui over the harbour which prohibits water activity until it is deemed safe. Together with the authorities in Auckland, the new date was confirmed for the last Sunday in January to ensure the best and safest conditions for the public and divers.
“As unusual as this situation is from a sports point of view, the decision for this date was also made considering the athletes’ preparation and rest periods. The postponement to the end of January means they now have a few weeks to recover physically and mentally before they start building up again for the crowning of the 2023 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series overall champions and then focus on a strong 2024 season.", states sport director Orlando Duque
