WSF's Olympic hopes squashed
By
The IOC has rejected a bid by the World Squash Federation (WSF) to have squash included in the 2004 Games in Athens.
The WSF is now intending to campaign for squash to make its debut in the 2008 Olympic Games. Ted Walbutton, WSF chief executive, says the result has come as a bitter disappointment: We strongly believe that squash should be on the Olympic programme and have made great efforts for many years to convince the International Olympic Committee of our case.
The IOC has also ruled that a strict maximum of 10,000 athletes will apply to the Athens Games - less than Sydney.
