JIM Wilson is hoping to reap the rewards of 12 years effort when he leads the Hong Kong gymnastics team for the final time at a major multi-sport event.
Wilson, 50, will leave the territory in December after more than a decade as head gymnastics coach at the Hong Kong Sports Institute.
And the former British tumbling champion feels his current Commonwealth Games squad of four women and four men can provide the perfect send-off before he heads for eventual retirement in Cyprus.
''I think during these Games we will have our best results ever,'' said Wilson. ''Our kids, especially the girls, have a lot of experience.
''In fact, other teams have been looking at us and seeing how relaxed we are. We have been very comfortable in training.
''It is the best team we have ever had.'' Female all-rounders Nicola Waite and Wong Ka-li, says Wilson, have the best chance of either winning a medal or coming very close, particularly in the individual apparatus events.
Lee Tak-ming and Wong Kim-fai are the territory's main men's hopes.
