Sauvage to fly Australian flag

Louise Sauvage will lead the Australian team into the stadium during Saturday's opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Athens.

Wheelchair track racer Sauvage made her Paralympic Games debut in Barcelona in 1992.

She shares the title of Australia's greatest Paralympian with nine gold medals, and is hoping to win her 10th while defending her 400 metres world record.

Wheelchair basketballer Paula Coghlan and cyclist Chris Scott have been named team captains and will lead the 143-strong squad when the competition begins on Saturday.
