Los Angeles Kings forward Marian Gaborik scored on a power play with 5:44 remaining and added his second into an empty net with one second to go to lead Slovakia to victory. “It wasn’t our best game,” Gaborik said. “But we showed we know what to do when we’re losing.” Buffalo Sabres defenseman Andrej Meszaros had tied it in the final period after Jan Urbas gave Slovenia a 1-0 lead in the first period. Damien Fleury scored on a power play 6:13 into the final period and Laurent Meunier added the second into an empty net with 58 seconds left for France’s first win at the tournament. “That’s a big win for us,” Dallas Stars forward Antoine Roussel said. “We deserved the three points but that was a hard battle for both teams.” Earlier, the defeat by Switzerland was another blow for Germany’s campaign after a humiliating 10-0 loss to Canada in its previous game on Sunday. Denis Hollenstein ended the deadlock with a backhand shot in the final period with 7:44 remaining. “It was an important game for us all,” Nashville Predators forward Kevin Fiala said. “We just have to keep going like that. “Nobody’s bad in this sport any more.

    IInnssttaanntt UUppddaattee ISSUE 44 MAY/JUNE 2013 To: ALL WSF MEMBER NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Vice-Presidents, WSF Committee Members, WSA, PSA, Accredited Companies ST PETERSBURG AWAITS May 29 is a critical date for squash. 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.

Our beloved sport, squash, is inevitable to face the challenge, too. Numerous squash activities in the region this year were either Mr. David Mui, MH JP, ASF’s President suspended or cancelled. However, we must prepare for the time when the pandemic subsides and regular activities resume,” said Mr. David Mui, MH, JP, ASF’s President, “thus, amidst the uncertainty and the ‘new normal', we must adopt technology and new thinking to develop and promote our sport.” Mr. Mui continued, “Though the member nations are not able to meet in person this year, we hope that we can still meet online for the AGM to share everyone’s current situation and to plan ahead next year’s activities.” This is the first time for ASF to host a virtual Annual General Meeting in response to this unprecedented pandemic. Year 2020 is a challenge for the world and for all sports too. We understand that most our member national federations have also been going through some trying times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
