Orlando Duque
World-famous Colombian high diver and cliff diver. Ten-time world champion, six-time Cliff Diving World Cup champion, three-time European champion, Red Bull Cliff Diving World series winner, winner of the inaugural edition of the 2014 High Diving World Cup in Kazan. Orlando has also made it into the Guinness Book of World Records on two occasions: one of them when he achieved a perfect 10 at the 2000 World Championships and the other one for a record number of dives from natural formations.
Orlando had a pool and 27-metre platform built for him near his house in Colombia because it's really hard to find a platform that high for practices.
