Teen squash player Anahat Singh, 15, had a great 2023. She managed to clinch a gold in U-15 girls’ category at British Junior Open Squash, a gold in the U-17 girls at the Asian Junior Squash Championships, two bronze medals (women`s team event and mixed doubles event) at the 2023 Asian Games, among other laurels. Now, Delhi-based Anahat wants to break into the Top 50 in the PSA world rankings. Also, Anahat’s dream of winning an Olympic medal is a possibility after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced the inclusion of squash at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. “My aim is to work towards getting a medal at the Olympics, Asian Games and the next Commonwealth Games. Also, I want to play more in the senior category. Playing important tournaments at the senior level against experienced [seniors/players] will be beneficial to me. My main goal for the next few years is to break into the Top 50 and then in the Top 10 and hopefully become a world champion someday,” Anahat, who is currently ranked 130 in the world, told mid-day.com.
