Mostar Red Bull Cliff Diving 2026

Entities: Mostar · Stari Most (Old Bridge) · Gary Hunt · Rhiannan Iffland · Skyvertise

Overview

In late July 2026 Mostar marked the 22nd anniversary of its restored Old Bridge with a blend of heritage storytelling and extreme‑sport spectacle. The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series launched its 10th edition on 29 July, opening with a record 500‑drone night show that formed Red Bull logos and the thank‑you message “Hvala Mostar”. The ceremony featured the world‑premiere of Lejla Zvizdić’s documentary “The Deepest Jump” and live music from Mostar Sevdah Reunion and Divanhana. Athletes dove from 27 m (men) and 21 m (women) into the Neretva River, with competition rounds streamed on YouTube, Red Bull TV and Hayat TV. A special Sarajevo‑Mostar train facilitated spectators across Bosnia‑Herzegovina. The event ran from 30 July to 1 August, continuing the city’s celebration of its historic bridge‑jumping tradition through modern sport and technology.
