Britain’s Hunt and Iffland from Australia made the perfect start to their title defence at the first stop of the 2017 World Series at Inis Mór, with both divers coming from behind to secure a crucial victory at the demanding Serpent’s Lair location. Hunt’s fellow Brit, Blake Aldridge, took second spot on the podium while America’s Andy Jones finished third from the 27m platform.
