Over 2,000 children tasted their first experience of squash during the week through introductory sessions on a miniature outdoor activation court - while the Showcase all-glass court, situated in the heart of Technopolis Park, attracted almost 5,000 visitors each day with many witnessing squash for the first time in their lives. Joining the thousands of locals to watch the squash showcase were high-profile IOC members such as HRH Tunku Imran, former President of the Commonwealth Games Federation, and Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi, who had the chance to step onto court and experience the sport first-hand (pictured below) - an experience shared by hundreds of lucky locals who were given the chance to play a suite of new interactive games on the centrepiece court. More from Buenos Aires …. "The Squash Showcase in Buenos Aires has exceeded all expectations and we are delighted with the reaction from the local population, the participating athletes and the wider IOC family," said Fontaine. "Along with enjoying what could be a once-in- a-lifetime experience for many, our athletes embraced the local spirit and it was fantastic to see them engaging with young fans and to see so many smiles on the young schoolchildren's faces.
