There have been 36 winners of the men’s and women’s world championship so far, since the events began in 1976. Each player has been on a squash journey beginning when they first picked up a racket to later lifting the title.
Now, they are telling their story to the World Squash Library in a series of ‘My Journey’ podcasts as a new resource for the sport now and into the future.
‘Champions are generously giving their time to talk about their start, development, challenges and successes. To hear them from their own lips gives a real insight’, commented Library founder Andrew Shelley.
