VirtualSpectator Technology No Squash Squash Looks To The Future After Olympic Disappointment July 8, 2005 Earlier in the day, IOC members voted softball and baseball off the 2012 program, leaving room for two successors to be chosen from squash, rugby sevens, rollers sports, karate and golf sports which had been short-listed for consideration in an IOC announcement last September. Ted Wallbutton, Chief Executive of the WSF for fourteen years until his retirement at the beginning of this year, added: "Squash has come from nowhere in Olympic terms to become the first placed sport outside of the program. It is an amazing achievement and far from failing we should be proud that we won the race, but failed to collect the prize."

Al-Ahram Weekly 22 - 28 April 1999 Issue No. 426 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Egypt Region International Economy ... Letters Squash in 2004? By Eman Abdel-Moeti THANKS to Egypt, the non-Olympic sport of squash might make its long-awaited debut at the 2004 Games. With its unique setting the squash glass court on a small island across from the Marriott Hotel the women's squash Grand Prix Finals here in Hurghada was quite impressive, so much so that the game might soon become an official Olympic sport. That's the word from Andrew Shelly, director of the Women's International Squash Professionals Association (WISPA). Shelly told the Weekly that the site, plus the Al-Ahram Organisation's support for squash, are some of the major reasons the game could make it to the 2004 Games. Squash officials did not want to wait even that long. Shelly met three weeks ago with the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Juan Antonio Samaranch, in a bid to include squash in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. But with the Olympics just a little over a year away, the effort came a bit too late. Squash is also cash-strapped, another obstacle which needs to be removed. Still, Shelly presented a strong case for the game, especially the women's events. "We have world championships, we are members in the Commonwealth Games, we have continental competitions including the Grand Prix which comprises 10 tournaments and our members come from 160 countries," Shelly told Samaranch.

Both players were filmed wearing the impressive World Squash Day T-shirts, which feature smart graphics on the front and a giant slogan on the back stating "Squash for the Olympic Games 2012"

The 117th session of the International Olympic Committee ended in uproar last night in Singapore when squash and karate, the two candidate sports that survived an exhaustive elimination process to advance to a vote of the general assembly, both failed to secure the two-thirds majority required for admission to future Games. "Amazing, just amazing," said John Coates, president of the Australian Olympic Committee and one of the 105 IOC voting members who took part in the ballot. "We started the day with 28 Olympic sports. Now we have 26. That's it for another four years. There won't be another vote." Australia's three IOC members, Coates, Kevan Gosper and Phil Coles, supported the inclusion of sevens rugby, which was pipped by karate in the "best of the losers" second round of voting after squash won the initial round.

"Squash deserves to be played at the Olympics, but we may have to wait till 2012 for that to happen," said Jahangir, the president of the World Squash Federation (WSF) who is on a private visit to India. "Many other sports like rugby, cricket and golf are trying to become Olympic sports. We are also trying. But it is not going to be easy. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) have set a limit of 10,000 sports persons at every game. They are trying to take out a few sports and include others. "Millions play squash. We have about 123 countries affiliated to the world body. I definitely feel it should be included in the Olympics. But I am not very hopeful yet." The Athens Olympics begin on Aug 13, while the 2008 Games will be held in Beijing. Jahangir, who won six world and 11 British Open titles, said he preferred the earlier scoring system where games were decided over nine points instead of the present 15.

(AP) "I think they've made a big, big mistake. Baseball is played by all countries now, and softball, too..." Tommy Lasorda former Team USA and L.A. Dodgers manager (AP) Baseball and softball weren't big hits among International Olympic Committee members. Both American-invented sports were dropped Friday from the program for the 2012 Olympics in London — the first events cut from the Summer Games in 69 years. The IOC couldn't immediately agree on their replacements. Each of the 28 existing sports was put to a secret vote by the IOC, and baseball and softball failed to receive a majority required to stay on the program. The other 26 sports made the cut. The IOC then voted from a waiting list of five sports: golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports. Squash and karate won the ballots, but then were rejected in final confirmation votes, which required two-thirds majorities. Baseball and softball, which will remain on the program for the 2008 Beijing Games, are the first sports eliminated from the Olympics since polo in 1936. IOC president Jacques Rogge said the two sports would be eligible to win their way back onto the Olympic program for 2016.

London's showpiece will now feature 26 sports rather than 28 after International Olympic Committee (IOC) members rejected proposals to replace the axed sports with two from rugby sevens, golf, squash, karate and roller sports. Baseball and softball failed to win a majority of votes in a ballot of members at the IOC Session at the Raffles complex and became the first sports to be cut from the Games since polo in 1936. In a farcical display of bureaucracy, IOC members went through seven rounds of voting to decide which two of the five would-be Olympic sports should be put up for a vote to give them Olympic status. Having selected squash and karate, the members then overwhelmingly rejected their bids to join the Olympic programme. The last Olympics to be staged with just 26 sports was Atlanta in 1996. The minimum number of sports required for an Olympic Games is 15, while the maximum is 28. "Today was a decision to put quality over quantity," IOC communications director Giselle Davies said.
