Ilse Pelser [club, national]

2017 for South Africa, in Koper, Slovenia (intlgymnast.com, 04 Jun 2017)

In 2019 she sustained a foot injury. (sapeople.com, 18 Sep 2019)

Between 2015 and 2017 she dislocated her knee five times. Her orthopaedic surgeon confirmed that she had completely ruptured her medial patellofemoral ligament on the interior side. She underwent surgery in 2017 and took a recovery break which lasted nine months. (newframe.com, 19 Nov 2019; sapeople.com, 18 Sep 2019)

She took up gymnastics at age six. Two years later she joined Johannesburg Gymnastics Centre and at age 11 she began competing in international events. (newframe.com, 19 Nov 2019; intlgymnast.com, 04 Jun 2017)

She was active as a child and her parents enrolled her in a gymnastics club to channel her energy. "I was a very busy child. I could never sit still, I was up and down, trying to climb over walls, inside the door frames, always really putting myself in dangerous situations. My parents didn't really know how to control my energy and they were quite worried about me. A few of their friends recommended the sport to them, they didn't even know what gymnastics was then. I remember my mom told me the doctor wanted to diagnose me with ADHD and they wanted to put me on medication and stuff and she decided, no, I just need something to channel my energy."
