Aussie Rhiannan Iffland has done it again, storming home to claim victory on the fourth stop of the 2022 Red Bull Cliff Diving Series in Norway.

Just 5.5 points separated Rhiannan Iffland and Canada’s Molly Carlson going into the final two rounds, but it was the Australian who came out firing on day two, picking up three 9s from the judges for a beautifully executed third round dive.

Carlson couldn’t match it, and the reigning champion stretched her lead to 20 points going into the final round.

Another near-perfect fourth dive drew 9.5s from the panel and Iffland sealed her third win of the season.

A mammoth 51 points separated the top two on the day, while the Oslo podium was completed by American wildcard Meili Carpenter, who continued her impressive season with a repeat of her third place from Boston.

“My 26th win, incredible! I’m riding this wave of confidence and really enjoying the diving. I was really drawing from the energy of the crowd," Iffland said.

"It was really, really special and it's so nice putting on a great show for them. 

“I’ve heard that the weather is the best they’ve had all summer as well, so that's a really special moment," she said.

Iffland, whose 13-event winning streak was ended by her Canadian rival at the season opener, now extends her lead at the top of the overall standings to 130 points. Eleanor Smart of the USA sits in third place, almost 200 points further back behind second-placed Carlson.

Fellow Aussie Xantheia Pennisi finished in seventh place, and sits in fifth on the overall standings with four rounds remaining.

A packed program going into the second half of the 2022 World Series season doesn’t allow for much of a pause as the high diving from up to 27m continues in magic Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the cliff diving elite will dive from the famous old bridge, the Stari Most, in two weeks’ time.
