The minute the august members of the International Olympic Committee, meeting in Singapore, announced they'd axed baseball and softball from the Summer Olympics, beginning with the London Games of 2012, the search was on for the fixer. Or at least an explanation. Angry leaders of the softball federation put the blame on IOC president Jacques Rogge, who had been viewed as a tireless campaigner against the bat-and-ball sports, and for alternatives such as karate and squash, of all things. All we can say to that is: Ahem. They're all missing the boat. We smell a true Oliver Stone-worthy conspiracy here, orchestrated by the Canadians. Yes, blame Canada, at least for the softball part. Simply follow the connections: There you have it. Frankly, we're surprised no one else has picked up on this.

Search: The Web Rediff Home Sports News Report Golf, rugby return to Olympics? Golf, rugby and squash are on a shortlist of five sports to be assessed for possible inclusion in the 2012 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee is reviewing the merits of all 28 current Olympic sports and disciplines following the Athens Games and has decided also to assess golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports. "We have sent a questionnaire to the 28 Summer federations represented in the Olympic Games," an IOC spokesman said. "It is all part of the ongoing review of the Olympic programme. As part of this process the IOC has decided to include five sports not currently in the Games." The IOC earlier this year drew up a list of 33 criteria on which Olympic sports would be assessed, ranging from the history and development of the sport to gender equity and the impact on the environment of staging the sport. "These criteria will help us to make a decision at the session in Singapore next July as to the programme for the Olympic Games in 2012," the spokesman said. MAJOR BOOST Three sports - softball, baseball and modern pentathlon - had been under threat of exclusion from the 2008 Games in Beijing before being reprieved in 2002.

Squash and karate seemed certain additions to the 2012 Olympic Games. There were two vacancies on the London 2012 program after baseball and softball were voted out. Squash and karate had been nominated - above rugby, roller sports and golf - as the replacements. But in an Olympic-size twist, IOC members on Friday handed down a "No" vote to any new sports after 10 rounds of voting. First, all existing 28 Olympic sports were put to a simple "in or out" vote, and only baseball and softball failed to win a majority of support to remain on the program.

2003 Hong Kong Junior Sports Stars Awards Series - (4) Chan Ho-ling ¡V Rebecca Chiu¡¦s successor When you mention about outstanding squash players in Hong Kong, the name Rebecca Chiu comes to your mind. However, an exciting prospect from Ti-I College Chan Ho-ling is coming through the ranks to be a new-star for Hong Kong squash. Ho-ling participated in 2000¡¦s ¡§HKSDB New Star Programme ¡V Talent ID¡¨ and was chosen to be a squad player for Hong Kong. Ho-ling, 15, has already captured the championships from Youth Squash Opens from Germany and Netherlands respectively (Under 17 category).

She started playing squash with her elder sister at an early age of 11, and started receiving training later on. Her parents applied for the New Star Programme for her, which started her squash career. It is obviously hard to allocate time for study and sports. ¡¥More practices means less time for studying.

Squash career improves withstandingness Although her squash career is a tough one, Ho-ling loves the sport very much. ¡§Squash is very different from other sports. It is played indoors, thus everything is more easily controlled. At the same time, Ho-ling would also like to do well on the academic side, and finish studying in University.

Squash and karate were initially nominated as their replacements but neither polled enough IOC members' votes to win a place at the Games. Rugby union sevens, golf and roller skating were also in the running. International Olympic Committee members went through seven rounds of voting to decide which two of the five sports should be put up for a vote to give them Olympic status. Squash and karate were chosen, but not enough of the IOC members wanted them to be included. It means the earliest they can now be introduced into the Games is 2016.

Jahangir , who with compatriot Jansher Khan dominated international squash in the 1980s and 1990s, said the game should replace one of the 28 existing summer Olympic sports which are due to be put to a vote later this year. "The WSF is lobbying hard for squash getting a place in the Olympics," Jahangir told AFP. "We were disappointed when it was not included for the 2008 Beijing Olympics." Squash along with golf, rugby, roller-sports and karate, will vie for a possible place at the 2012 Games if any of the existing 28 Olympic sports is removed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 8. The IOC earlier this month decided that all 28 Olympic sports will face the vote in Singapore in two months time and must win a majority vote from IOC members to avoid being dropped.
