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.

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.
