MOSTAR, Bosnia (Reuters) - Lorens Listo's name may not headline the world's sports pages, but on the streets of his native Mostar he is hailed as a champion among champions in a sport that is central to the Bosnian city's identity: high diving.

Mostar is home to the Stari Most, a 16th-century Ottoman peaked bridge that spans the river Neretva and, at its highest point, stands 79 feet (24 m) above the water.
