Video. Trio leaps from Rome’s 18m Cavour Bridge in New Year’s Day tradition

Three men dove off Rome’s 18m high Cavour Bridge on New Year’s Day, continuing a tradition since 1946.

This year, Maurizio Palmulli, known as ‘Mr. Ok,’ passed the torch to Marco Fois as he retired from diving.

Meanwhile, in Berlin, brave swimmers marked the new year with their annual ice bathing tradition, swimming and dancing in the cold water to welcome 2025.
