Grey skies.
A team ready to go.
Dark clouds above the tower. Wet tiles beside the pool. And a team standing together anyway. These photographs from the 2005 competition event in Thun show Arschbombe against a Swiss mountain backdrop: dives, conversations and shared moments at a tour stop where the weather did not cooperate.
A team in red.
The Swiss national team gathers in red tracksuits beside the wrapped Eurotour Tucson. Each photograph changes the moment: a different pose, a different look, the same people. These are distinct photographs of a shared occasion, not duplicate uploads.
Philipp Haas.
Between dives.
The blue jacket. The blue cap. Philipp Haas appears in conversation beside the pool. Oliver Hillebrecht recalls the German guiding the Swiss national team through the 2005 World Championship. The Thun photographs capture him talking with athletes. The Thun tour stop and the World Championship remain distinct points in this account.
Grey weather.
Blue water.
The sky weighs on the photographs while the pool shines blue below it. Divers wait on the tower; others are airborne beside it. Gentle exposure correction makes the subjects clearer. It does not turn this day into an invented sunny one.
What stays together.
There are group photographs too: people against water and mountains, part of the tour fleet beside them. Not every historical moment needs a results list. Some tell their story through the people sharing the frame.
Archive, year, location and identification of Philipp Haas: Oliver Hillebrecht. His role at the 2005 World Championship follows the founder’s recollection. An exact date for the Thun event is not established here. January 1 serves only to place this retrospective within the year. Fourteen distinct photographs, without invented results. Historical show dives are not instructions.
