James 'grateful' for bronze after battle with Graves disease, death of mother

James won bronze in the 400m at the Tokyo Olympics. He was the first man to win a medal in this event at three different Olympics, winning gold at London 2012 and silver at Rio 2016. In 2017, he was diagnosed with Graves disease and two years later his mother died. James had to deal with the cancellation of the Olympic Games and the disruption brought about by the pandemic. He finished the race in 43.88, his fastest since 2012. The athlete is grateful for the bronze medal. "It's always great. You have to give credit to all the guys in that race. They are so, so good, it's tough to race against them."
