Cameron Rahles-Rahbula will open them in Sochi on Friday night after he was announced as the Australian team flag bearer for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
“It’s an unbelievable honour, I can’t explain the feeling,” Rahles-Rahbula said. “It’s my fourth Games. It was a highlight just to make this team for my fourth Games but to be named Flag Bearer is a very special moment.
Australian Chef de Mission Chris Nunn said Rahles-Rahbula was highly deserving of the honour and would lead his team mates with great distinction.
“This is recognition of an outstanding athlete who has represented Australia at the highest level for more than decade, and who embodies what it takes be an Australian Paralympian,” Nunn said. “Cameron always sets a great example, and it will be no different here in Sochi. He is someone that every athlete on our Team looks up to.”
