THERE is mounting uncertainty over whether 2015 World Championship bronze medallist Kirani James will compete at the World Championships in London this summer.
James has not competed since the Drake Relays in April when he finished sixth in the 400 metres.
After that performance, Harvey Glance, coach of the 2014 Commonwealth Games champion, said he was shutting down James’ competitive season while he recovers from illness.

SportsMax.tv was informed by a source that the 24-year-old Grenadian was suffering from a respiratory illness.
James’ management subsequently revealed that the athlete had returned to training and was recovering nicely from his illness. However, on Monday when SportsMax.tv spoke with Seth Katz of AMG Property Sports Incorporated, the agency that represents the 2012 Olympic champion, he said he had nothing to add to his previous response, which was that James was ‘recovering nicely’.

“His is recovering nicely and resuming his conditioning and that’s where we stand on it,” he said in response to queries from SportsMax.tv Monday.
He was unable to say whether James was in line to participate at the World Championships which begins on August 4.
Sources also indicate that the Grenada Athletics Association (GAA) is not optimistic about the athlete representing them in London this summer.
However, SportsMx.tv was not successful in its attempts to get a comment from any member of the GAA executive.
