Traditional 450th Jumps from the Old Bridge to be held soon

On Sunday, the 31st of July 2016, the 450th jumps from the Old Bridge in Mostar will be held in the period from 4 pm to 6 pm. Like every year, this will be a spectacle for those who love the adrenaline, and tens of thousands of spectators are expected on the banks of the Neretva River. Winner in jumping on the head last year was Lorens Listo, while victory in the jumps on the feet went to Adis Boskailo. That was Listo’s 9th victory. Participants are jumping from a height of 27 meters in the cold Neretva River, which requires both physical and mental preparation, and mostly it takes courage. Minors are jumping with parental consent.
