“They want to win, everybody wants to win. Team USA is looking good too,” Orlando Duque, the sports director of Red Bull Cliff Diving, said. “We are going to see some of the best dives in the history of the sport from some of the best divers in the world.”<\/p>

Adrenaline and athlete preparation<\/h2>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

One Team USA diver described the sport as a perfect fit for an “adrenaline junkie,” noting the immense rush felt from takeoff to entry.\u00a0<\/p>

“I can definitely feel it from the take-off, to the flight, to the entry.” Kaylea Arnett, one of the divers representing Team USA, explained. “To have the city scape, it’s great to have a crowd that can come and watch as well.”<\/p>

Another competitor mentioned that diving from 90 feet allows them to add an extra flip or twist to their routine.<\/p>

Divers emphasized the need to be mentally strong and trust their abilities.\u00a0<\/p>

They have to overcome fear before stepping off the towering platform.<\/p>

“I absolutely love it, it’s amazing with the adrenaline rush and the feeling of hitting a good dive is something that’s hard to describe,” Lisa Faulkner, representing Team USA, added.<\/p>

Local perspective:<\/p>

Residents and visitors are already lining the St. Pete Pier to catch the action up close.\u00a0<\/p>

One spectator expressed excitement, saying the competition was something they definitely wanted to see.<\/p>
