The 1989 Men’s World Open was memorable for Chris Dittmar’s performances against Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan. Because the referee gantry was used it was filmed through the front wall, and the quality of the copy is not pin-sharp; but a great reminder nonetheless.

Great example why I never took to Jansher. A master at blocking his own short shots and appeals for everything when Eyles played a winning shot. Very little effort to reach the ball. Eyles had to win many points twice
you see the pros are able to adapt their style as the rackets changed. you see more drops and flicks. imagine these players with todays rackets. unreal!
I played for Ireland that tournament. I watched the finish of Ditts-Jahangir. He kept his powder dry to cut that backhand volley serve return into the nick, and play a max rally after. Jansher was too fit.
I would like to see the last 8-10 shots in a few rallies so that people would recognize the high quality of our game. The video is inspirational in other ways but add in some segments of outstanding rallies. Thanks.
thank you for these wonderful uploads - kindly upload the 1994 World Open as well please
I am afraid that the Library doesn't have film of the 1994 World Open - if somebody can provide it I would be delighted to have the opportunity to upload it.
@worldsquashlibrary7032 Do you have clips from the 1990 British Open men's final vs Jahangir Khan and Rodney Martin?

*SQUASH DOES **_NOT_** Need Olympics!* *_Olympics_** NEED Squash!* *IOC! Include This Game, It’s HIGH Freaking Time!* *And While You Are At It, FREAKING INCLUDE KABADDI!*
Squash is literally the most underrated sport!
We need to come together and push from every corner of the world to have squash included in the Olympic games!
Still not Olympic
and break dancing is! go figure!
Go squash !
fuck u IOC
Absolute disgrace, that there are "sports," like skateboarding, golf, equestrian and some other non sense like ribbon twirling but we can't make room for Squash. Those sports are also less accessible to majority of people; expensive to pick up and expensive to setup the necessary facilities! Almost seems racist how they support and favor some sports over others!
this video deserves more views. Well done, great edits!
Squash is too hard for the olympics
Great clip, got goosebumbs. It's time to accept squash as an Olympic sport! Long overdue. Such an international sport. Great to watch, real sport. Why race walking, shooting or open water swimming but not squash for God sake?
Totally agree. It's disgusting, disgraceful, and confusing to want to accept "breakdancing" as an Olympic sport over Squash.
I can't believe how many years we are trying to get squash admitted at the olympics... and instead, skate, bike freestyle and frisbee become "olympic"... it's laughable.
Olympics needs squash more then
@@hannibalking85 indeed
even skate and freebike (closer to circus stunts) are there at the olympics, and squash not??? 😇
FTO let’s be the only sport to formally diss the Olympics. Bunch of assholes.
the View count of this video kind of says it all, unfortunately ... :( I am one of the 656 LIKES btw.
Reddy, the Library is archiving squash, and so is historical, but this film has received 26,000 views on UA-cam since it was originally uploaded. So, it is not quite what it seems.
2024 Olympic bid, ua-cam.com/video/LFdlpmGUYbo/v-deo.html
Squash does not need to be included in the Olympic Games. There is no more the original spirit of the Modern Olympic Games, they have been kidnapped by greed.
What is the difference between badminton and squash being in Olympic Games?badminton but why not squash?
@@princemukuka6296 Only the Olympic Comitee knows the answer. Squash is one of the most popular and well organized sports in the world. It is also the healthiest, according to a very scientific study made by Forbes Magazine. Would you believe breakdancing will be an Olympic sport in 2024? Since professional athletes were admitted in the Olympic Games the original spirit was lost.
0:17 Siiii!!!!, Principessa!!! You rule!
Give it up the ioc sucks arse let’s face it and desperation to get in is a stinky cologne. Best thing would be to actively not try and get in and have our own squash gold medal style country vs country events. Seems like they would put in watching paint dry before squash. Screw the lot of them. Good ad though.
Thumbs up for the cause thumbs down for the video.
What? Why?
As an ex pro I can tell you the problem is the incompetence of the International Squash Federation. A bunch of old men who want to feel important and get done nothing. We are talking about being part of Olympics now for 25 (!!!) years and it has not crossed anyone's mind that you need to lobby (pay money) the IOC comittee.
Christian, squash is a genuine sport that ticks the boxes of athleticism, structure, being worldwide, showcasing venues etc etc, but it is also small in terms of playing numbers, TV reach (e.g. a non-playing audience), broadcast income, age perception etc. That explains why it has been challenging to get a place on the programme, and why we have not succeeded so far. However, I know from personal experience watching the efforts over many years before being involved myself that the efforts of WSF, PSA, National Federations and individuals over the years have been nothing but full committment coupled with maximum effort, professionalism and funding-raising / spend too. You may criticise the lack of success, but talking of old men & doing nothing is plain wrong. As is bribery. You are looking in the wrong direction. We need to look at ourselves, how we can change to comply with what the IOC are looking for i.e. the 'cool' youth market. Skating, surfing, speed climbing etc this year, break-dancing for 2024 get in but not traditional great sports like ours that may deserve a place but are simply not fitting with the IPOC agenda at this point. (And if we change it will lead to re-generation of the sport generally). Andrew
@@worldsquashlibrary7032 sorry Andrew to disagree. Whats the difference to Badminton as example? And if you think anything in this world goes without lobbying ( bribing to use your words) than your are very naive.
@@worldsquashlibrary7032 and to add is that its not PSA who is at fault. I think they have done really well. Amazing venues and TV coverage but at national level (federations) we suck big time.
@@christianwind8874 Good to have a discussion, so don't be sorry! While badminton got into the Olympics shortly after the 1984 LA Games turned them into a serious commercial propostion, we were still developing a mainstream product - and as you say, PSA and the promoters have done a superb job. Not least the arrival of SquashTV in 2010 that was a game changer in terms of bringing uniformly high standards of presentation. We would really have been ready for London 2012, but IOC found a way to exclude us then, as they have since. You and I have a different take on lobbying, which actually means networking, building relationships and pushing the case with key insiders at every turn - which is exactly what the old men who did nothing (and women too) have been doing so much of! While IOC has its own agenda as mentioned, I am afraid you really do not know the situation very well if you think that a sport that has struggled to raise a few hundred thousand Euros to bid, could add enough millions more to try that route - which may work for other groups but if you know the make-up of the IOC would know that it should never be tried. Anyway, we all hope that the WSF and PSA find a way of mounting a successful bid for 2028, as and when that becomes possible.
The only box to tick is … money (like golf).
This is Long overdue . Fingers crossed 🤞
How much money you got? The IOC members are high maintenance? What a joke this should have been part of the Olympics from day one. Hope they make 2024? Go Ross Norman and Susan Devoy! Fellow kiwi squashie here! MaTeWa!
Had me teary eyed! Amazing video and song choice!!! Well done! Love this freaken game!
Me too mate! I got all choked up watching this! Best sport ever!
An absolute disgraceful video - no clips of any legendry Pakistani players. However, I did see India;s name mentioned. Who the fuck is India in Squash?
It won't happen as long as the old school hypocritic people manage the PSA. It should move to a new business model.
Give squash more exposure. More than half the world hasn't seen a squash game.
Start broadcast games and tournaments on tv and not just online streaming on squash tv which is ridiculously expensive and that might help the bid
olympics? what is that!!!
Squash has been a worldwide sport for decades. Champions coming from India, America & Australia. It's a popular social sport. Throughout the world. Thought it would be one of the first sports to be made an Olympic sport.
Squash players must be the fittest athletes in the world. Needing the agility of a gymnast, strenght of a sprinter & stamina of a long distance runner.
Badminton
@@f04bhargavharipurkar7 I've played squash and badminton and squash is way harder
@@loganchiasson1081 bro you had played badminton in your backyard not in indoor court
@@f04bhargavharipurkar7 I was ranked top 1000 In my province and played in plenty of tournaments if are going to get upset with people who give their advice then shut the fuck up and be quiet
pros are super fit and dedicated but so are Tour de France and footballers to be fair, also brutal sports
skateboarding at the olympics and squash not being at it is absolutely hard for me to understand.
I can see how Skateboarding can be in it but some of the others like DANCING utter bs they need squash in it tho
Skateboarding has become a legit sport. Sure, it's point system and competition structure isn't the same as other sports but it's legitimate competition. Honestly, I feel it's just North America trying to push some sports originating there into Olympics. That's it.
Make squash an olympic discipline. Now.
I agree with the comments regarding Joey Barrington needed for the commentary, however, they absolutely need to ensure players are always looking to play the ball, keep the game flowing, otherwise it'll never happen.
This is WAY better than it used to be though, and way better in prov squash vs amateur. I'm actually quite impressed how the refs deal with this..
Does squash have an image problem? Not among pros, but amateurs, where it is often an 'old wealthy man' sport. Contrast this with the 'young hip' sports recently added, e.g. skateboarding, break dancing, climbing, surfing. I want squash to be part of the Olympics, it should be already, but maybe it has to broaden the appeal to non-squash fans
It is not only an image problem, it is also an administrative problem. Squash is still managed by Old schoolers from that traditional era.
@@mellowmonsoon278 yes, as long as squash is not broadcastet in a manner that you can see all the atributes needed for playing squash, as long as Pro-Squash is full of ridicilous referee decicions that no one is understanding, as long as they are not able to make the white ball visible, so don ´t allow black ink on the strings, as long they do not have the courage for very little but important changes, there will never be exitement for squash from outside the squash-community.
@@mellowmonsoon278 by the way, that image video is so shocking bad...!!
I can’t see how it has any more of an image problem than tennis, which in my humble opinion is a far inferior game!
Fingers crossed. I love the variety of venues in squash de nantes, so Paris would be amazing
Plus, we need some joey Barrington commentary at the Olympics 👍
It's such a great spectacle on a glass court, with the lights plus the three dimensional play that you DON'T get in tennis!!
Squash for 2028 maybe?🙄
it's criminal that squash was not included! and breakdancing was included ! The IOC is corrupt and incompetent!
The problem is PSA is also incompetent !
Yep, the next Olympic Sport, iPhone dragon slayer. Boring. Yes it all comes down to money and publicity. Everybody who has played squash knows how physically demanding it is, you will probably find the board members who select the games chosen for the Olympics have not played the game to understand how good it is. The top players are extreme athletes and deserve to be fully recognised. Their passion and emotions alone should make it an Olympic Sport. You don't see Novak Djokovic diving around like Paul Coll.
Totally agree with all comments below, interesting Squash has been in the Commonwealth games since 1996.Great vid, fingers crossed for France 2024
Great video! Sadly, the Olympics are all about money and are not worth watching (until they include squash).
