Elias & Gohar Extend World Junior Rankings' Reigns
Diego
Elias
and Nouran Gohar - from Peru and Egypt, respectively - extend
their reigns at the top of the latest WSF World Junior Rankings,
published today by the World Squash Federation.
Elias,
18, from Lima, made history in August last year by winning the WSF
Men's World Junior Individual Championship in Namibia without
dropping a game - thereby becoming Peru's first ever world squash
champion.
Last
month, he went on to confirm his status as the world's best junior by
winning the British Junior U19 Open title for the first time.
Pakistan's Tayyab Aslam holds on to second place in the men's
list, with Hong Kong's Tsun Hei Yuen, the 2014 Hong Kong
Junior Open and Dutch Junior Open champion, at No3.
Gohar
tops the women's list which features fellow Egyptians in the next three
places. The 17-year-old from Cairo was runner-up in the 2014 World
Junior Championship - but, in this year's British Junior U19 Open, beat
third-placed Salma Hany Ibrahim in the semis before overcoming
the new list's No.4 Mariam Metwally to win the title for the
first time.
Habiba
Mohamed,
the WSF World Junior Individual champion, aged just 15, holds onto
second place in the new list.
The
WSF World Junior Rankings - based on the under-19 age grouping - are
issued quarterly, based on results achieved in WSF World Junior Circuit
events, national senior opens, regional championships and WSF World
Junior Individual Championships.
