Holiday hotspot with Marlou van Rhijn

With the 2017 Para athletics season upon us and the World Para Athletics Championships looming on the horizon we know how hard Para athletes around the world will be training. So when the time comes to relax, where do they go?

This year we will be asking our Ones to Watch stars to reveal their top holiday destination along with the two essential items they would pack in their suitcase.

Introducing the weekly feature is Dutch world and Paralympic champion Marlou van Rhijn, who stole the show in the women’s T44 sprints at Rio 2016, winning double gold.

My holiday hotspot – Marlou van Rhijn

It’s the south of France, any place around the Cote d’Azur. And I always pack…

• A bikini

• My credit card to shop!

The London 2017 World Para Athletics World Championships takes place between 14-23 July.
