A native of North Vancouver, B.C., Gaudet will lead a Canadian contingent of 54 athletes into the Fisht Olympic Stadium on Friday night. "It carries a lot of purpose for me," Gaudet said at Wednesdays announcement. "Of course were here to compete as athletes with a physical disability at the highest level -- thats what the Paralympic Games are. "It sends a big global message as well about looking past the wheelchair, looking past the visual impairment, looking past the missing limb and really focusing on the person and focusing on whats there." Gaudet is the second on the Canadian squad to skip Jim Armstrong, who said his teammate is deserving of the honour. "In the six, seven years that Ive known Sonja, all Ive done is see her work very hard," said Armstrong, who won gold at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics with Gaudet. "Her skills have just continued to improve and it has not come easy. She has set a work ethic that any coach would be very proud of." Canada made the podium 19 times in Vancouver and has set a goal of finishing top-three in gold medals in Sochi.
