Extreme diving amid coronavirus in Mostar, Bosnia
- 4 years ago
Despite coronavirus cases spiking in Bosnia, the famous Mostar Old Bridge diving competition still went ahead on Sunday.The spectator numbers were well down on previous years, just two thousand this year, compared to the tens of thousands that usually gather at this unique location on the Neretva river.
33 competitors from only three countries - Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia - took part this year, in both leg-first and head-first competition. Covid-19 prevented many world class divers from travelling to Mostar, but nevertheless, according to the organisers, it was very important that the competition went ahead and that tradition was not interrupted.
