KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 29: Malaysian superstar Nicol David has vowed to continue her fight to include squash in the Olympics following its rejection by the IOC for the 2016 Games, a report said on Thursday.

“My dream has always been to play in the Olympics and I will do everything I can to see squash in the Games,” David was quoted as saying by The Star, adding she was now training her sights on 2020.

The 28-year-old, who has been the women’s world number one since 2006, has won every title that top-level squash has to offer and is regarded by many as a living legend in the sport.

“It’s discouraging that the IOC have rejected our appeal for the 2016 Olympics as well, but I haven’t given up hope,” David said.—AFP
