“You have to try to catch whoever is falling, otherwise they could really hurt themselves, you just do whatever you can do to break their fall.”Īmazingly, since she began training at Eden Area Gymnastics in Pambula at 11 years of age, Indigo hasn’t suffered any broken bones or major injuries, “just the odd bruise”. Indigo laughs and says that the trio has had “some bad stacks” along the road to gold. Originally from Tanja in the Bega Valley, Indigo is now based in Oak Flats and together with her teammates Ella Treanor, 16 and Naomi Gibson, 13, she has just won gold at the Australian National Gymnastics Championships in Melbourne. What do you do when you’ve sent one of your teammates flying into the air and when you look up, instead of flying gracefully through the air, she is tumbling towards your face like a sack of potatoes? Do you try to catch her or get out of her way?Īccording to up and coming acrobatic gymnast Indigo Conroy, 18, you try and catch her, even if it means getting hurt yourself.
