A teenage sensation, JAMES burst onto the World scene in 2011 aged just 18 when winning 400m World Championship GOLD in Daegu [KOR]!!!🥇🔥

Thus started a journey that has since seen him win EVERY Global 400m medal on offer; culminating in the ultimate prize of Olympic GOLD in London 2012!!!🥇🥈🥉🥇🥈🥉

Grenada’s first Olympic medallist has overcome Graves’ disease and has been prolific on the track ever since breaking multiple Youth Records in his teens…World Youth GOLD [2009] and World Junior GOLD [2010] followed, alongside many other wins [such as Commonwealth GOLD in 2014]; still only aged 32, few would bet against more medals to come for a man who’s name is already firmly penned in the History books!!!👏🙌
