Nile Wilson: 'I want a medal at Baku gymnastics'

Team GB's Nile Wilson says that he is confident of winning a medal at the European Games in Baku.

British gymnast Nile Wilson has said that he is confident of winning a medal at the European Games in Baku.

Wilson will appear in the artistic gymnastics on Sunday, and is hoping to build on his Commonwealth Games gold last summer.

He suffered an injury at last year's world championships, but is raring to go in Baku.

"It is a big relief to be going to Baku because I have been coming back from injury which is always really frustrating," he told the Evening Standard.

"But I have tried to stay positive and work on other areas while I have been out. It is easy to get down but it is part of being a top athlete and you have to deal with it and try and keep improving all the time. I want to come back really strong and help the team win lots of medals.

"This is a really good chance for me to show what I can do and show that I can perform to the highest levels. The way my training is going I feel confident and strong on the apparatus so I'm hopeful I can be in good form."

Wilson won five gold medals at the junior European Championships last year.
