American Paralympic gold medal winner April Holmes believes Team USA could have an advantage at January's IPC Athletics World Championships after a successful visit to Christchurch, New Zealand earlier this year.
In March, Holmes together with a number of national teammates visited Christchurch to get a feel for the city, the stadium and its people during the New Zealand national championships. And, according to Holmes, who will be defending the 100m and 200m T44 world titles she won four years ago, the visit could give them the edge over competitors.
