    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

  • Aileen Riggin Soule: a Wonderful Life in Her Own Words
    Aileen Riggin Soule: A Wonderful Life In her own words The youngest U.S. Olympic champion, the tiniest anywhere Olympic champion and the first women's Olympic springboard diving champion was Aileen Riggin. All these honors were won in the 1920 Olympics by Miss Riggin when she had just passed her 14th birthday. If no woman started earlier as an amateur champion, certainly no woman pro stayed on the top longer. Aileen Riggin never waited for opportunities to come her way. In 1924 at Paris, she became the only girl in Olympic history to win medals in both diving and swimming in the same Olympic Games (silver in 3 meter springboard and bronze in 100 meter backstroke). She turned pro in 1926, played the Hippodrome and toured with Gertrude Ederle’s Act for 6 months after her famous Channel swim. She made appearances at new pool openings and helped launch “learn to swim programs” around the world. She gave diving exhibitions, taught swimming, ledtured and wrote articles on fashion, sports, fitness and health for the New York Post and many of the leading magazines of her day. She also danced in the movie "Roman Scandals" starring Eddie Cantor and skated in Sonja Henie's film "One in a Million." She helped organize and coach Billy Rose's first Aquacade in which she also starred, at the 1937 Cleveland Exposition. She was truly a girl who did it all. When in 1996, while attending the Olympic Games in Atlanta as America’s oldest Olympic Gold medalist, she was asked if she still had any goals left in life, she said: "Yes.

Recent progress in therapy has meant that haemophiliacs are now encouraged to participate in sports, although various guidelines have recommended that they avoid activities where risks outweigh benefits. In order to evaluate the type of sports undertaken by haemophiliacs and the benefits or risks associated with each sport, we conducted a questionnaire- based study. The questionnaire was sent to 124 patients. Among the 80 patients who responded, 71 (90%) currently participated in or had previously participated in a physical activity. Among them, 56 (70%) still played a sport. Nearly all sports were cited in the answers, the most frequently played by these 56 haemophiliacs being swimming (59%), cycling (44%), walking (43%), table tennis (33%), soccer (33%) and tennis (31%). Fifty-six patients reported a benefit in doing a sport: somatic (79%), psychological (80%) or social (62%). Thirty haemophiliacs (42%) reported at least one accident or incident linked to sport.

  • Water Polo National Collegiate Women’S
    Water Polo NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Southern California Takes Championship Over Stanford, 10-9: Southern California coach Jovan Vavic was still soggy from the celebratory dip in the pool after his team’s 10-9 NCAA women’s water polo championship-clinching defeat of Stanford May 16. He was also all smiles with Women of Troy seniors Tumua Anae and Kally Lucas on either side of him. “When you’re a coach for so many years, you think it’s going to get old,” he said. “But I’m as excited about this finish, this championship as [2004]. It doesn’t get old. In fact, in some ways I was more excited for this one because we waited so long.” Past frustrations were exorcised at the San Diego State University Aztec Aquaplex in a defeat of top-seeded Stanford that came down literally to the final play. Despite lead- ing through three periods, Southern California had to hold off a Stanford rally that nearly bridged a four-goal gap. Annika Dries’ goal with 45 seconds remaining brought Stanford within one for the first time since early in the third period, and capped a torrid, 1-minute, 40-second sprint. With momentum decidedly on Stanford’s side and less than a minute separating Southern California from the championship it had been denied in the previous two title games, the Women of Troy regrouped. “With 45 seconds left, we were all in the center of the pool saying, `This is the best defense of our lives,’” said Lucas. “And we got our stop.
