Squash has the credentials to become an olympic event and our goal is to see the sport in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We are working towards this and will keep trying even if our bid is not successful.

The pressure began to mount as I kept winning every time and people were anxious to see if I could be beaten.

If you have the passion to do something, work hard, stay honest and nothing can stop you to accomplish it.

If you have a burning ambition and desire, absolutely anything can be achieved.

To be the best, I had to work harder than everyone else.
