International Bridge Diving Competition — Mostar
Divers leap 21 metres from the Stari Most into the Neretva
The International Bridge Diving Competition at Mostar's Stari Most is one of the most dramatic and visually spectacular sporting events in Europe — held every July since 1968, it sees trained divers leap 21 metres from the Ottoman bridge into the cold waters of the Neretva River. The competition draws thousands of spectators to the banks of the river and the bridge itself, and the combination of the medieval bridge, the emerald river, and the athletic spectacle makes it one of the most photographed events in the Balkans.
