Quiet laughter, hushed chatter and the occasional ringing of a cell phone were the only sounds filling the VIP hall of Cairo International Airport on October 20, just after midnight. But just a few seconds later, Ramy Ashour stepped off his five-hour flight from the United Kingdom and turned the quiet terminal into a chaotic flurry of press, family and rowdy friends, all vying for a moment with the champion squash player.

JEAN DELIERRE - A PASSION BECOMES A COMMITMENT TO HIS SPORT

Nov 25, 2003  Sometimes a person just has to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective. The problems facing professional squash are widely known and have been well documented. The interaction between players and referees, lack of financial resources, and failure to get squash included within the Olympic games have all been beaten to death by the media. Yet what are the results?

Many thanks as always

To reach the top is one but to hold on to the peak tenaciously is quite another. The same goes for Squash.  Egyptian Amr Shabana and Malaysian Nicol David have, therefore, been adopting different approaches to the game to keep themselves on the top.

Sustaining at the top is a Herculean task in any sport. Squash is no different. Current world number one Egyptian Amr Shabana in the men’s section and Malaysian Nicol David in the ladies have been adopting different approaches to the games to keep on the top perch.

With apologies to Archimedes I had my own Eureka moment, not in the bath but rather at Starbucks the other day. 

While enjoying my cup of java and a respite from clients and the trials and tribulations in stock and credit markets, I was reading an Opinion article by Rod Love in the Globe & Mail when my epithany or eureka moment hit.  

Since Squash360.com launched at the end of January squash fans from over 130 countries have visited the site. 

So what are people checking out? 

Here is a quick list (in no particular order) of the most visited articles and links ...

Ramy Ashour and Nicol David crowned world champions in Manchester

Ramy Ashour overcame Egyptian rival Karim Darwish to claim his first World Open championship after Nicol David had beaten Vicky Botwright to retain her women's title and maintain her stranglehold on the female game.

For Botwright, it was a magnificent way to bow out of the world tour. She is now concentrating on a coaching career and was back on court at 9a.m. sharp today (Monday) to coach a group of local schoolchildren in Manchester.
