James Hatton

W. James Hatton was a British long-distance runner who had his best achievements at the 1920 Summer Olympics. He finished fifth in the 10,000 m final and tenth in the 3,000 m race, in which Great Britain won the silver team medal. Hatton did not receive a medal because only three best runners from a team were counted; Hatton was fourth.[1]
