Chance for squash at 2020 Olympics


THE International Olympic Council (IOC) will meet on Sept 7 at the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires to decide one of the following games – baseball/softball, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding and wushu – to be included in the 2020 Olympics.

I was pleasantly surprised that the National Sports Council (NSC) has at last given their official support and backing to Datuk Nicol David to see her dream of getting squash into the Olympics (The Star, Feb 19).
