Celeste Dixon - Ninja Warrior

My name’s Celeste Dixon and I’m known for being on all 5 seasons of Australian Ninja Warrior. Along with 5 other females, I made it up the warped wall to make history. I love being a ninja as it’s something that I find completely fun yet challenging – even more so with each passing season.

I also love aerial arts, gymnastics and climbing. I’ve really gotten into climbing recently as it’s helped a lot with grip strength.

I love being upside down hanging from a bar or in a handstand.

Being active is probably what people know me for. I never really have “down” time and I get bored verrrrry easily.

I absolutely hate being injured but getting older it’s becoming harder to avoid. I do like trying to push the boundaries as to how far I can physically take my body with training.

My favourite food to fuel me as an Athlete 

I absolutely love broccoli. I’m a massive fan of veggies.

My favourite movie

Either the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Love Actually

My favourite colours 

Fluro green, purple, blue

My sporting hero and why

There are so many I look at and just absolutely admire and for completely different reasons.
