James Ellington competed in London and Rio. But the sprinter's career came to a shuddering halt in 2017 when he was involved in a motor bike accident whilst on a training camp in Tenerife.

He talks from his base in Dubai about the mindset and determination he has shown to rebuild a career after doctors questioned whether he'd walk again.

He returned to the track in 2019 at the Anniversary Games in London. And even then he had to deal with an allergic reaction to a sting just before the event and a slip at home.
