About this episode
Australian cliff diving sensation, Rhiannan “Rhi” Iffland has leapt from hot air balloons, helicopters and plunged into oceans all across the globe. 

But even as a five time world series champion and two time FINA world champion, Rhi says she still experiences fear and sometimes it’s what keeps her safe. 

Rhi began her cliff diving career with a stunning win. In her rookie year – 2016 – she won her first-ever competition as a wildcard entry into the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.

Rhi was hailed as the 'Australian cliff diving sensation' – not only was she the youngest female diver ever to win an event, but she also scored podium places on all of her seven starts.

These achievements are the fruits of the hard work of an athlete who's been practising their sport from early childhood – Rhi began diving at the age of nine and before that she was an avid acrobatic trampolinist
