    Døds is a Norwegian extreme sport where competitors launch themselves from high diving platforms and bellyflop into the water in a dramatic fashion. It requires careful timing to absorb the impact through curled body positions. The sport began in the 1960s in Oslo and has since expanded to other Scandinavian countries. Competitions culminate in the World Championships each August, which take on a cultural event atmosphere with music, entertainment and rockstar status for top jumpers. Success involves flying through the air with dramatic poses but impacting the water by closing the body tightly at the last moment to avoid pain on entry.
