The most awaited event of the year is going to start in the next two weeks, an event incomparable to any other pro-leagues. It’s especially one of it’s kind because artistic gymnastics being an individual sport is played as a team sport! 

I participated for the first time in IGL season 2 last year. I got a chance to prove myself. I learnt many new techniques and experiences from the senior gymnasts of my team. The podium was lively, but there were some restrictions regarding space. This year I’m especially excited  to compete at the huge stadium in Balewadi.

In this league there were many fun factors like risky repeat, stick landing bonuses, bonus in connection of two high difficulty elements, which pushed me to give my best! Not only this, the tie breaker was also created creatively with a competition in the stick landing.

With a total of 32 gymnasts, it’s great to not only gain knowledge from the female gymnasts, but also from the male gymnasts.

Along with the fun, the organising team (Team IGL) took care of the recovery part as well, with high-end physiotherapists and really healthy and hygienic food. 

The cute little cheerleaders lifted my spirits up and I’m very sure they won the hearts of the audience as well. 

I’m ready and eager for the Season 3 as this time it’s way bigger and better!
