DESCRIPTION
Blake said "I'm fortunate that my sponsors, Apogee, have kept supporting me through the Olympics and now with the Red Bull Clii Diving World Series. They've been fantastic supporters. I owe everything to them for the last eight years of my life. Without their support I wouldn't be able to be here and do this. They're keeping the dream alive and I'll be back next year for sure."

British Olympian in �nal event in theRed Bull Cli� Diving World Series 2011
Apogee's Director of IT & Corporate Communications, Paul Hayes said “We are very impressed with Blake this year following injury set backs. Blake and Apogee share an ethos to achieve excellence through hard work and inward evaluation and it’s that shared vision that forms the basis for our continued relationship. We look forward to seeing Blake carry the Apogee brand name at this �nal event of this 2011 Red Bull Cli� Diving World Series”
In the land of the Cossacks, Red Bull hosted the �nal event of the Red Bull Cli� Diving World Series 2011. The ornate Swallow's Nest Castle near Yalta on the Crimean shore provided the perfect backdrop for the third season's culminating event. Divers ,turned climbers, used ropes to climb down to the diving platform, 27 meters above the water.
Blake Aldridge was invited to join the elite divers in this rapidly rising sport following his success in La Rochelle and having recently become the European Cli� Diving champion for the 3rd time. He is de�nitely the one to watch as he gains more experi-ence at 27 metres. His experience at 10 metres is enviable as he is still the British Record Holder for 10-metre synchro since 2008. He has over 35 National Titles. 3-times World Medalist and Olym-pic Games Finalist 2008 Beijing. But as Blake says 27 metres is very di�erent and having come 2nd in the �rst and second rounds at Yalta he feels very encouraged for 2012.
