Wheelchair racer Madison de Rozario and swimmer Brenden Hall will be Australia’s flagbearers at the opening ceremony of the Paris Paralympic Games. The duo were announced in their roles by Australian chef de mission Kate McLoughlin on Friday as they prepare to compete at their fifth Games. It was an emotional moment for both athletes, having made their Paralympics debuts together at the 2008 Beijing Games.

” Leaving her debut Games with a silver medal in the 4x100m T53/54 category, track star de Rozario went on to win two more medals at the 2016 Rio Games and broke through for her maiden Paralympic titles at Tokyo 2021, in the 800m T53 and the marathon T54. Hall took home two gold medals at the 2012 London Games in the 400m freestyle S9 and the 4x100m freestyle relay 34 points, before doing it again in the 400m at Rio 2016.
