'The Olympics Are An Added Bonus': Anahat Targets LA 2028 After World Junior Squash C'ship Title
World Junior Squash Championships: Fresh from becoming India’s first World Junior squash champion, Anahat Singh has set her sights on an even bigger dream — the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 — saying the inclusion of squash in the Games has given players an opportunity they never imagined possible.
“Every squash player is over the moon that squash is in the Olympics. No one ever really thought we'd get this opportunity. I'm really looking forward to having a shot at qualifying through the Asian Games. If it doesn't happen there, there are other ways as well,” Anahat said after her historic triumph in Toronto.
In another landmark achievement, the 18-year-old Delhi player broke Egypt’s stranglehold on the girls’ event by beating Egypt’s second seed Ruqayya Salem in straight games to become the first Indian to claim the World Junior Squash Championships title, bettering Joshna Chinappa’s runner-up finish in 2005.
