Several other sports, including karate and wushu, are also lobbying for a spot.The head of the World Squash Federation, N. Ramachandran, made his case in meetings with Tokyo organizing committee chairman Yoshiro Mori in Tokyo. The squash leader also met with Japanese IOC member Tsunekazu Takeda.I was grateful to highlight how serious WSF is in its efforts for squash to be included in the Olympics as a medal sport, Ramachandran said.Squash was unsuccessful in previous bids for inclusion in the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Olympics.The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association and the World Confederation of Billiards submitted a joint bid to win a spot in Tokyo.The sports previously planned to seek inclusion in the 2024 Olympics, but decided to push for 2020 after the IOC opened the door for Tokyo.Snooker has grown at unprecedented levels in recent times and it has been our belief for some time that we should be given our chance on the ultimate global platform for sport, WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson said.

Tied for second with Soren Kjeldsen overnight, Donaldson took the lead when his Danish opponent made two straight bogeys on the last two holes of the front nine. The Welshman surged further ahead with two birdies on the first three of the back nine. "This is big," Donaldson said. "Its been an amazing week. Ive had a lot of birdies here all week. Ive dropped too many shots, which stopped me from moving away a little bit, so today everything came together." Donaldson birdied six holes and dropped two shots for a total 14-under 274 in windy conditions at the Albatross Golf Resort near Prague for his third European Tour victory after the Irish Open in 2012 and Abu Dhabi Golf Championship in 2013. Donaldson needed a top-seven finish to guarantee a debut in next months match against the United States at Gleneagles. "Its so difficult to get into the team, the llads are playing so well," Donaldson said. Margus Hunt Youth Jersey. "You know that you have to play well to secure your place and it did come down to the wire." Bradley Dredge, who led after three rounds, was two strokes back for the first 1-2 Welsh finish on the European Tour. Dredge started the fourth round with a two-stroke lead but managed a 72 with two birdies and two bogeys for a 12-under 276 total and his second straight second place after last weeks Made In Denmark event. "Its been a great two weeks in terms of two seconds," Dredge said. "Two firsts wouldve been better. Slightly disappointed I didnt win one, but Ill have a few more chances before the end of the year, and see how that goes." Kjeldsen (71) finished tied for third with Merrick Bremner of South Africa with an overall 11-under 277. Stephen Gallacher (73) of Scotland, another Ryder Cup hopeful, shared seventh for 7-under 281 and will need a good result from next weeks Italian Open to have a chance to qualify. ' ' ' |
