Brave divers jump to it in Bosnia's traditional Old Bridge competition

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - It's an annual event that's not for the fainthearted or those with a fear of heights.

But on Sunday, 41 brave souls and about a thousand tourists and residents showed up for the 451st edition of the traditional high-diving in Mostar, about 120 kilometers south of Bosnia-Herzegovina's capital Sarajevo.

Local divers and competitors from all over Europe made the leap from a height of 25 meters off Mostar's Old Bridge, a UNESCO monument, in two categories: headfirst and legs-first.
