The World Series winner for three successive years in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Englishman Gary Hunt is a man at the very top of his game.

There has been virtually no stopping the 30-year-old ever since he finished runner-up in the first World Series in 2009. Six podiums out of six in 2010 catapulted Hunt ahead of the previous champion, Orlando Duque, at the final showdown in the sport's birthplace, Hawaii.

The Paris-resident then became the first athlete to win four successive competitions in 2011 en route to a second title clinched even before the final stop in the Ukraine and there was no let-up in 2012 either as the ‘brilliant Brit’ made it a hat-trick of titles by winning the final stop in Oman after an incredibly tight battle with the returning veteran Duque.

Regarded as one of the most progressive divers in the World Series, Hunt's repertoire includes the triple quad, the first dive conceived exclusively for cliff diving, which packs in three somersaults and four twists and has a DD of 6.3 – the highest of any dive in the sport.

My goal for the 2014 season

My main goal is obviously to take back the title. To do this I will need to be stronger, faster and braver than ever. I feel like this year is the most important year of my life. I want to show that my time at the top of this sport has not come to an end and that I've still got room to grow and improve.
