ASF to push for sport in Beijing Olympics
Byline: K.M. Boopathy
Edition: 2*
THE Asian Squash Federation (ASF) is excited over the possible inclusion of squash in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 after China (CSRA) became one of its affiliates.
CSRA attended the ASF annual general meeting in Kuala Lumpur yesterday and promised its president N. Ramachandran that they will be sending two competitors to the Busan Asian Games although the sport was introduced only recently in China.
"We have admitted CSRA as one of our affiliates and the fact that they want to send a player each for the men's and women's competitions shows their interest," said Ramachandran.
