Our Campaign Starts Today

18 July 2011

Squash

World Squash Federation President N Ramachandran released the following statement regarding the announcement of the sport being included in the shortlist of candidate sports for the 2020 Olympics.

I truly believe that squash would be a great Olympic sport. It fulfils all the criteria for inclusion in the Games, has proven universality and growth and we have an absolute commitment from all our top athletes that an Olympic medal would be the pinnacle of their careers. We also have high-profile world champions, exciting world championships for men and women, massive participation from juniors to masters on all continents and a healthy, thriving programme of youth development worldwide.

Squash has benefited from some incredibly exciting technical innovations in recent years, including dramatic glass flooring, courts that can be sited in iconic settings such as the Pyramids and New York’s Grand Central Station, vastly-improved television coverage in HD with multiple camera positions, and 'super slow-mo’ replays. We are not a sport that stands still. All this and the fact that squash is a wonderful example of one-on-one sporting gladiatorial competition, would make it a perfect addition to the Games.

Our campaign starts with new energy and vigor as of today and I am delighted that we will have an opportunity to take our message to the whole Olympic and sporting family over the next two years.
