Champion cliff diver wins first round in World Series

Colombian Orlando Duque of Colombia won the first round of the 2012 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Corsica on Saturday.

The 2009 World Series winner and nine-times World Champion Duque made his competitive comeback after a year out with injury to prove that he is still at the top of his game in testing conditions on the French island.

Competitors dive from a 27 metre platfrom on the old citadel walls of Bonifacio, in Corsica.

American Steven LoBue came runner-up, with Michal Navrati of the Czech Republic finishing in third.
