Gary Hunt and Rhiannan Iffland took another big step towards retaining their Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series titles at the Puglia stop on Tuesday afternoon, leaping into the lead after two rounds as they look to wrap things up with one stop to spare.

A win for Hunt at this penultimate stop would secure him his ninth King Kahekili Trophy, while Iffland only needs a top five finish to grab her fifth title in a row and things couldn't have gone better for the pair on day one.
