There will be lots of eyes watching Ken Bow's every move as the Commonwealth Games men's gymnastics competition gets under way today.
But local real estate agent Mr Bow isn't tackling the vault, horse or high bar, instead he is on the panel of judges for the men's artistic competition.
Mr Bow, who is a member of Mid Island Gymsports ( Migs) in Rotorua, has been a judge for many years after retiring as a competitive gymnast.
His inclusion in the Commonwealth Games - his third Games as a judge - has excited all at the club and they hope it will have many spin-offs.
"Ken's involvement in the Games gives everyone an opportunity to see you don't have to be a gymnast to be involved in sport," said Migs centre manager Alesha Morris.
