Squash Olympic Bid Featured On BBC TV Worldwide

A mini feature on squash's bid to be featured in the 2012 Olympic Games will be shown on BBC TV this week, both domestically on BBC News 24 and internationally via the BBC World network.

Pakistan's record ten-times British Open champion Jahangir Khan, now President of the World Squash Federation (WSF), and England's current world No2 Lee Beachill are both featured in the report. 

Squash was recently nominated by the IOC as one of five sports which would be "studied further" with a view to inclusion in the Olympic Games programme for 2012.  All five sports have been profiled in similar style by BBC TV.

It is planned that the squash feature will run on BBC 1 in the UK on Wednesday morning (16th February) at 07:15 and 08:35.
