Best of 2023: No coach, no agent, no ego: the incredible story of the ‘Lionel Messi of cliff diving’

Every Monday and Friday for the rest of December we will publish
some of our favourite audio long reads of 2023, in case you missed
them, with an introduction from the editorial team to explain why
we’ve chosen it. From March: Gary Hunt is an enigma. He trains with
the intensity of a modern athlete, but relaxes like a sportsman of
a bygone era. He is fiercely competitive but unbelievably
laid-back. How did he become the greatest cliff diver of all time?
