The Australian cliff diver and face of the sport is set to be crowned an eight-time world champion in Sydney Harbour

The 33-year-old is the face of the glitzy world high diving tour, and is sponsored by the globe’s biggest energy drink. But speak to her and Iffland is self-deprecating and disarming.
