| Squash a step closer to Olympic inclusion Posted: 29 May 2013 09:06 AM PDT PETALING JAYA: Squash, baseball/softball and wrestling have made the International Olympic Committee (IOC) shortlist for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic Games. The IOC made the annoucement of the three shortlisted sports chosen from a list of eight at its summit in St. Petersburg, Russia on Wednesday. A final decision will be made in September in Buenos Aires, Argentina just before a full IOC session at which the host nation of the Olympics will also be chosen. With Malaysian squash queen Nicol David leading the charge, there is still reason to be optimistic that squash may make the cut. |
