Squash's Olympics tag adds wheels to Anahat's go pro drive

Hindustan Times  

Moments after squash was included as one of the new sports for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics at October's IOC Session in Mumbai, Saurav Ghosal, India's top squash professional aged 37, chuckled that he wished he was 10 years younger. This year's U-17 Asian junior gold medallist, she grabbed a couple of medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games — a bronze each in the women's team and mixed doubles with Abhay Singh. By far the brightest young talent in the country’s squash circuit, the soft-spoken teen from Delhi felt the timing of the belated Olympics tag couldn’t have been better from an Indian perspective, having come days after the squash contingent’s creditable five-medal Asian Games show. It's going to be a target which I'm going to be working towards for the next five years," said Anahat sitting by the squash courts of Cricket Club of India here on Thursday. Already making her mark in the senior national circuit, one of Anahat’s goals for next year is to start competing in more PSA world tour events to climb up the world rankings.
