WSF President Responds to
IOC Executive Board Announcement
A statement
from World Squash Federation President
N Ramachandran in response to the IOC Executive Board Announcement
"I speak for
the whole sport when I say that we are hugely disappointed that the IOC
Executive Board has not selected Squash to face the wider IOC vote in Copenhagen
in October.
"I believe
that Squash has come a long way in the last four years, not just in order to try
and gain Olympic inclusion but for the benefit of the sport as a whole. We have
invested in developments and listened to players at all levels in order to help
progress the sport.
"I believe
that, through this, we have been able to take Squash to a new level. Although
we will not see our dream of being part of the Olympic Games from 2016, we will
continue to improve the sport wherever possible, and will not give up on the
belief that Squash is deserving of, and ready for, Olympic status."
