Abdul Jabbar Faisal ISLAMABAD:-Pakistan’s four players team will participate in the two fixtures of the WSF World Juniors Squash Championship 2022, which will be kicked off from August 11 in Nancy, France, as official of Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) told www.sports-bulletion.com on Friday. “Pakistan will take part in individual and team events of the World Squash Federation’s (WSF) top junior showpiece, as Noor Zaman, Mohammad Hamza Khan, Ans Ali Bokhari and Irfan Arshed will represent Pakistan in the both events. Boys are well prepared and will produce notable performances, “he hoped. It is important to mention here that Jansher Khan had won the world junior title in 1986 for Pakistan in Brisbane, Australia. Later on Yasir Butt and Aamir Atlas Khan reached the finals but failed to win the title. Sohail Qaiser had won the first title for Pakistan in 1982. Pakistan won the team event’s title in 2016 after beating Egypt in the final. Young athletes from 36 countries will head to Nancy, France, when this year’s edition of the WSF World Junior Squash Championships gets underway from August 11 to 21, this year 2022. Athletes from countries in every populated continent will take part in the World Junior Championships, which will feature a junior men’s and women’s individual event and a men’s team event. Hosts France will be hoping they can claim a first ever title, with Victor Crouin and Grégory Gaultier finishing as runners up in 2017 and 2000 and Camille Serme and Isabelle Stoehr achieving the same in 2007 and 1997. Egypt had also had the most success in recent years, alongside the traditionally dominant Pakistan.  They are certain to face strong opposition in all events from recent powerhouses Egypt, though. No non-Egyptian has won the women’s individual title since the USA’s Amanda Sobhy in 2010, with current World No.3 Hania ElHammamy the defending champion. While Egypt do not have quite the same stranglehold on the men’s title, they have won the last three tournaments, with men’s World No.3 Mostafa Asal the defending champion.

Sports Bulletin Report Birmingham (UK):-New Zealand duo Paul Coll and Joelle King will headline the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games draws after being designated top seeds in the men’s and women’s draws, respectively. Defending Commonwealth Games singles and women’s doubles champion World No.5 King is a three-time gold medal winner at the Games, winning a women’s doubles gold in the Delhi 2010 Games and the Gold Coast 2018 Games, where she also won the women’s singles gold. Since 2010, the 33-year-old has also won bronze and silver medals in the mixed doubles and a bronze medal in the singles. World No.2 Coll, who in March 2022 became the first ever male from New Zealand to reach World No.1, was a beaten singles finalist in the Gold Coast 2018 Games, where he also won a mixed doubles bronze alongside King. “I think anyone from a Commonwealth country would say it’s the pinnacle for our sport,” King said. “It’s the biggest opportunity in terms of mainstream media for people seeing you out on that stage. I think it’s an opportunity  to show them what you’re made of. For me, personally, and for a lot of Commonwealth Games athletes, it’s definitely the pinnacle to try and bring home gold medals to your country. “I don’t think, at 21 and going into my first Commonwealth Games in India, I could have imagined I’d be at my fourth here in 2022. To be going back, just to compete, let alone as the defending champion in the singles, which was a dream come true, I’m looking forward to being the ‘old head’ in the team!” Both No.2 seeds have strong ties to this year’s Commonwealth Games, which will be held in Birmingham, England from 28 July to 8 August 2022. In the men’s draw, Wales’ World No.7 Joel Makin is a long-time resident of Solihull, less than eight miles from the courts he will soon be playing on. Similarly, England’s Sarah-Jane Perry is from the nearby town of Kenilworth and will be hoping to add to the singles silver medal she won in 2018. “It’s got a huge amount of importance,” Makin said. “Especially being at home, I’ve got a lot of good support from my friends and family. Everyone’s going to be there and getting behind it. “We travel all over the world, you might be playing somewhere like America or Egypt,  and no one’s there with you a lot of the time. It will be nice to actually have that home support where everyone’s there and everyone’s behind you. “It’s especially exciting to be playing in Birmingham. There’s a lot of buzz about it.”

Sports Bulletin Report Birmingham (USA):-France’s Victor Crouin and Belgium’s Tinne Gilis are the new The World Games champions after they beat France’s Grégoire Marche and Great Britain’s Lucy Beecroft, respectively, while Colombia’s Miguel Rodriguez and France’s Coline Aumard won bronze. 3/4 seed Crouin came into the final having impressed in victories over Yannick Wilhelmi, 5/8 seed Shahjahan Khan and 3/4 seed Miguel Rodriguez. Today, just as in his quarter-final win over the USA’s Khan, Crouin was forced to call on his reserves of willpower and fight back from losing the first game. After top seed Marche took an even first game 11-9, World No.18 Crouin was in a challenging situation when Marche had two game balls at 10-8 in the second. The 23-year-old, though, was able to stay calm and saved both game balls before eventually levelling the tie with a 14-12 victory. This time, it was Marche’s turn to respond and the 32-year-old regained the lead with a razor-tight 12-10 win. From this point on, though, the World No.13 struggled, and Crouin was able to secure a first men’s squash gold at The World Games since Gregory Gaultier in 2013 with comfortable 11-3 and 11-2 wins. Afterwards, Crouin said: “I’m so happy! My goal was to win a medal at this event and I return home with the gold! To beat Miguel and Greg back to back is huge for me. I did my best to recover from yesterday’s brutal semi-final but still had a rough night due to soreness. So, to win today means a lot to me! “Winning the gold is a huge achievement for my country and myself and I am proud to have fought all the way until the end. So happy” Result (Men’s Final): [3/4] Victor Crouin (FRA) beat [1] Grégoire Marche (FRA) 3-2: 9-11, 14-12, 10-12, 11-3, 11-2 (66m) Gilis celebrates her win In the women’s final, top seed Gilis put in a mature performance to beat 5/8 seed Lucy Beecroft in straight games. The World No.13 was made to work hard for her wins in all three games by Beecroft who, like Gilis, had reached the final without dropping a game. After going 7-5 down in the first game, Gilis found her accuracy to put together a scoring run of five unanswered points to earn three game balls. Although Beecroft managed to save two of these, Gilis was able to convert the third as she took the first game 11-9. The second and third games followed a similar script to the first, with Beecroft more than holding her own before succumbing to a late scoring charge from the Belgian. In the second game, the 24-year-old accelerated away from 5-5 to 11-7, before a brilliant spell took her from 6-5 down in the third to an 11-6 winner. I’m really, really happy with my gold medal today,” Gilis said afterwards. “I hope I made my country proud, my family proud and everyone proud! I’m so, so happy, for sure!” Result: (Women’s Final): [1] Tinne Gilis (BEL) beat [5/8] Lucy Beecroft (GBR) 3-0: 11-9, 11-7, 11-6 (30m) Rodriguez (right) serves against Steinmann. Elsewhere, there were bronze medals for Colombia’s Rodriguez and France’s Aumard after they beat Dimitri Steinmann of Switzerland and Haley Mendez of the USA. 3/4 seed Rodriguez, who also won the bronze medal in 2013, began his hunt for a second World Games medal with a fairly comfortable 11-5 win in the first game before being pegged back 11-4 by 5/8 seed Steinmann in the second. The fiercely tight games then followed, with Rodriguez saving two game balls to take the third game 12-10 and then edging the crucial fourth 13-11. Reacting after his win, Rodriguez said: “It is always really special to represent my country. For us, getting a medal at The World Games is as important as an Olympic medal or World Championship event. “After nine years, I am getting my second bronze at The World Games and I feel proud of the way I fought mentally to stay at the podium. Besides, we will keep our funding for our sport in Colombia and personally adding a bronze to the Colombian delegation total is enormous.” 3/4 seed Aumard, meanwhile, played a back-and-forth encounter with 5/8 seed Haley Mendez. Aumard took the first game 11-6 before Mendez responded with an 11-5 in game two. Aumard replied with an 11-9 in the third game to reclaim the lead, only for Mendez to once again level with an 11-6 win in the fourth. In the decisive fifth game, Aumard was able to keep ahead of Mendez, finally edging the encounter with an 11-8 win to earn France’s first of three medals that day. Result: (Men’s Bronze Medal Match): [3/4] Miguel Rodriguez (COL) beat [5/8] Dimitri Steinmann (SUI) 3-1: 11-5, 4-11, 12-10, 13-11 (64m) Result: (Women’s Bronze Medal Match): [3/4] Coline Aumard (FRA) bt [5/8] Haley Mendez (USA) 3-2: 11-6, 5-11, 11-9, 6-11, 11-8 (43m).
