Ad imporsi è stata la ventenne egiziana Nour El Sherbini, già finalista nel 2013, quando fu sconfitta dall’inglese Laura Massaro. Questa volta, la nordafricana ha ritrovato la stessa avversaria, ma, dopo essere andata in svantaggio per due set a zero, ha saputo rimontare fino al 3­2 finale (6­11, 4­11, 11­3, 11­5, 11­8). El Sherbini diventa così la prima donna egiziana a vincere il titolo mondiale, dopo i sette vinti dai connazionali maschi. L’Egitto ha dominato la manifestazione, visto che le due medaglie di bronzo sono andate a Raneem El Weleily, sconfitta in semifinale da Massaro per 3­2 (11­ 2, 7­11, 11­9, 6­11, 12­10), ed a Nouran Gohar, rivelazione del torneo, battuta per 3­0 dalla connazionale El Sherbini con un triplo 11­5. Mentre le donne erano impegnate nella rassegna iridata, gli uomini hanno disputato l’El Gouna International, torneo facente parte delle PSA World Series che si tiene nell’omonima città egiziana.

Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.
