Another highlight of this year is the fearless American Kimberley Benson. The word fear is foreign to her; she is able to perform both classic clean cliff diving jumps as well as splash dives from huge heights. She started diving four years ago, and it is interesting to note that she has never done gymnastics or acrobatics before. Cliff diving has captivated her so much that she has been doing it professionally for three years. She made her debut at the Highjump last year and placed third.
