Squash 2016- The Olympic Bid

Squash has failed in getting into the 2016 Olympic at the very first step. Instead, golf and rugby 7 will be the 2 sports that will proceed into the IOC Council voting process where they will try to get the simple majority to get inclusion into the Olympics.

There are mixed reactions towards this decision with joy from golf and rugby supporters while anger and despair from squash supporters. I just hope that the WSF with PSA and WISPA continue to develop and market the sport without the Olympics to attain similar status and glamour with tennis and badminton. Heck, even table tennis is more glamourous than squash.

Cheers and happy squashing.
