Junior World Championships.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the Junior World Wheelchair sports Championships of 2007 which were held in Johannesburg, South Africa from March 31-April 8. A discussion of the performance of Team USA, which consisted of 15 athletes who competed in track, field, and swimming events, and gained 32 gold, 26 silver, and 29 bronze medals, is presented. The team was sponsored by Wheelchair Sports USA but the team members raised their own funds and related expenses for the championships. The reaction of the athletes to the trip and their experience is discussed.
