Listo won the competition's head-first diving category for the eleventh time on Sunday with his trade-mark swan dive, before a crowd of about 5,000 people. Approaching 40, Listo has a muscular physique, adorned with tattoos on his arms and thigh, and a buzz-cut hairstyle. Listo, who works as the local director of a fuel company, says the threat of injury hangs over the sport. Listo said a handful of people have died jumping from the bridge over the years, though never during the competition. Listo's friend Andrej Beuc also died last year diving in a different competition in Bosnia.
