Sophie Pascoe will make history today when she becomes the first para athlete to lead the New Zealand team out at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on the Gold Coast. The 25-year-old was named last night as the flag bearer for the biggest New Zealand team in Commonwealth Games history - 251 athletes in total.
