Iffland’s ‘go get ’em’ approach puts her in rare air: Rodriguez.

Joel Rodriguez, New South Wales Institute of Sport’s Assistant (NSWIS) Diving Coach, said he hoped Rhiannan Iffland’s latest cliff-diving victory would reinforce to diving’s Generation Next the importance of possessing her traits – especially decency, fearlessness and resilience.

Iffland recently notched her 46th victory on the Red Bull Cliff Diving circuit when she defeated Canada’s Molly Carlson and Switzerland’s Morgane Herculano at Bali.

Thanks to NSWIS’s Connection to Country Advisor Tay-Leiha Clark and Trevor Eastwood from Dalmarri, staff were able to participate in a Cultural Day at Cathy Freeman Park.
 
It was a great opportunity for staff to connect with the rich history of Wangal land - now known as Sydney Olympic Park - through a hands-on cultural experience. The day included taking part in a smoke cleansing ceremony, observing historical artifacts, boomerang throwing, traditional painting. 
 
It was a day of engagement, learning and connection.
