Northampton, MA — Recently, a new website, squash2016.info, was launched. The site is dedicated to getting the sport of squash into the 2016 Olympics.

Currently, there are four cities vying for the honor of hosting the games: Chicago (USA), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Tokyo (Japan), and Madrid (Spain).  United States’ squash would certainly benefit from inclusion in an Olympics hosted in Chicago.

To unite the squash community, May 23rd will be Squash 2016 Day.  The day, which used to be called World Squash Day, will serve to further the Olympic bid.

Details about Squash 2016 Day events held in Western Mass will be published closer to the event.
