A French diver, Come Girardot, set a new world record in death diving after making a daring 144-foot (44-meter) jump off the La Cimbarra waterfall in Spain.
The 22-year-old French diver, who has been diving for five years, broke the previous Dods Diving record of 136.81 feet set by Lucien Charlon in August due to the push and courage he has given to himself never to give up.
Moreover, in spite of facing strong winds and mental challenges, Girardot successfully completed the death-defying feat, which is a challenge so many people take to becoming a better person.
“Joining the 40-meter club has been my goal since my last world record at 36 meters,” Girardot shared on Instagram.
He explained how the eight months of intense planning and daily training prepared him for the impact of the dive, saying that the most difficult part was the mental pressure before the leap.
“Once you count to three, there is no going back, and you just have to jump,” he said.
Moreover, the windy conditions on the day of the jump made it even more challenging, requiring immense focus and lastly serving as a push to do better.
Girardot’s accomplishment is a testament to determination and passion.
He shared that he’s open to attempting an even higher dive in the future, motivating others to keep striving for success despite challenges.
“It’s all about pushing yourself to the limit and never giving up on your goals,” he concluded.
