We didn't get in. Despite a polished presentation the International Olympic Committee has decided to go back to wrestling and not include a new sport in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Squash seemed to tick all the boxes but political and emotional pressure have given wrestling a reprieve.
So what now? Squash needs to move on.
As part of the bid process, we made exciting changes to the way the sport is played and presented. It has made it more attractive to a TV audience and is now a much more marketable product at the elite level.
Persistent criticism that the sport is boring and unwatchable is now simply not true. This tends to come from those who haven't seen a televised match for 10 years. It is now much more exciting, and the matches are shorter. Technology has been embraced with the use of video reviews, and laser light shows on the amazing all-glass courts. Squash didn't miss out on the Olympics, Olympics missed out on squash.
