James Ellington

James Ellington can easily describe 2011 as his breakthrough year. After impressing at the World Trials, gaining a Silver in the 200m. This put him on the plane to Daegu, where James finished 4th in the heats, but was unable to qualify for later results. This will undoubtably spur him on to ensure qualification for London later this year, and this was highlighted when James gained press coverage throughout the world, when he applied for sponsorship in quite unconventional methods; using internet auction site eBay. Hopefully, this will set him up well for a strong performance in this years Olympic games. In the Youtube video below, for the Telegraph - James describes his sponsorship plans.
