PAK beat India to WIN Asian Junior Squash Championship

[Ajaxpaul]

Congratulations! Right in the grand tradition of the great Khans.

Lean and lithe, stamina to kill for, eyes of a hawk, an inspirational tradition.

Yes they do have legends to inspire them.

yeah i remember two Khans who used to win squash tournaments all the time in 80s. Jansher and Jaanbaz or something.....

<groan>

Try Hashim Khan, Jahangir Khan, Jansher Khan. Also the always-forgotten Azam Khan.

When you have someone who has won 555 matches consecutively then that is bound to inspire juniors. Even though quality of present players isn't that good but still they win a tournament here and there.

Between 1981 and 1986, he was unbeaten in competitive play for five years. During that time he won 555 games consecutively, the longest winning streak by any athlete in top-level professional sports as recorded by Guinness World Records
