I am 75 years of age - played tennis and squash since I was at junior school - still play squash twice weekly and it has kept me interested in sport in general, fit, healthy in mind and allows me contact with lots of like minded people - of all ages: it is a travesty that squash is not yet in the Olympics - it certainly deserves to be and must now be included.
They should replace football in olympics with this sport. I have never managed to see much of squash at all, yet football is rammed down our throats every summer.
A few years ago I got into squash and I'm playing my first tournament this afternoon so this was very inspiring! I do hope squash does make it to the olympics!!!
The fact that these 2 champions come from such corners of the world as Egypt and Malaysia is so great. And the fact that they are also just champion people - squash couldn't hope for better ambassadors. Go Ramy and Nicol and GO SQUASH !!!
an excellent video…such a shame & feel so sorry for all those wonderful players who have come & gone & were denied a chance of playing for an Olympic medal. There really now needs to be a serious investigation of the IOC on who are those that are blocking squash plus why is that squash players themselves are doing so very little to help with this. It is crazy when you have sports like skateboarding, table tennis, climbing, breakdancing included. Some recent positives for squash have been that out of all the scenes in The Queen’s Gambit, the moment that made Anya and Moses the most nervous to film was when Beth and Jolene play squash, because they didn’t know how to play. Creator Scott Frank said one of his favorite scenes in the whole series is when Jolene and Beth sit and talk about squash. There's also a great heartfelt story about squash in the Little America Episode "The Jaguar" which is well worth watching
I’m 17 and I started to play squash 5 years ago and this is to me one of the most beautiful sport in the world ! Right I’m the 10th best player in France and my dream is to become one of the best player in the world ! Squash needs to be in the Olympic Games !
Squash DESERVES a spot in the olympics. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports in the world. It never ceases to amaze me. It is truly entertaining.
you deserve to be in the Olympics i think the reason for this is that the champions in this game are from developing country Ramy Ashour Amr Shabana i'm so proud of you
Hi just clicked on the Squash Olympics Bid video and I truly hope that you take note and bring squash into the Olympics. In the UK it is a sport that can be played any day of the year whatever the weather! My 3 children love it and have fantastic coaching locally in Nairn. Go on and give them something truly wonderful to inspire them and countless others to future greatness - The Olympics!!
What a great bid video - I have been playing for years and it's been one of the best social/fitness things I've done. It's hard to comprehend why it hasn't been included yet - it would be amazing to land a court in somewhere like a Horse Guards Parade and create a party atmosphere. Let's get behind the bid!!
Great video. I only play squash, maybe, once every 4 months with some buddies. But it is a great sport and it is entertaining to watch. GREAT point about how you can have a squash court at any venue. Definitely needs to happen. Good luck.
10 years on.. and now that the sport is finally in the 2028 Olympics, what it would have been to see an indomitable Ramy or Ali Farag in their prime at the Olympics.
Well, squash seems to be a whole lot more entertaining that a lot of the Olympic sports to be honest. Squash should be part of the Olympics I support them.
Ya es hora que se convierta en deporte olímpico esta disciplina tan espectacular! ...de Full estrategia, físico, táctica, técnica, explosión, rapidez, etc....
Joe Williams Great Video, hope Squash gets the nod when the Vote is taken next month. Technology has improved the viewing on TV of a great game since the days I played many years ago.
Its gonna be a close call, but i think Squash really deserves to be in the games. It's just one of the greatest sports of all times. And so much fun to play!
Show me a real, successful player of ANY sport that doesn't show courage and passion. Those are just players that play for money. Sportsmen who want to achieve something real, have to be passionate enough!
Truly am devastated. It would have been so bloody awesome to see Ramy in the Olympics. I feel really bad for all the effort put in by the promoters and officials.
never even played squash but enjoy watching it, looks so tough to play and i'd love to see it at the olympics, if golf gets it's chance so should squash
i think its a good idea to put squash into the olympics because i just learned its way different from racquetball and im sure it can show people another sport to try.....
