Times of India · sports

British diver Aidan Heslop feared his career was over after back surgery, which kept him away from the 27-metre platform for 444 days. He underwent surgery and months of failed treatments, struggling to recover while others competed. Heslop made a remarkable comeback in 2026, securing his second King Kahekili Trophy at the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series final in Italy. Red Bull confirmed his championship win after a challenging season, marking a triumphant return to the sport he has loved since childhood.
