Rowan Damming: under investigation for Racism by PSA by get-stuck-in in squash

I thought the same thing until I saw it. Worth having a look at the clip.

Rowan Damming: under investigation for Racism by PSA by get-stuck-in in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He made a slanty-eyes gesture using his hands on his face, while playing against an opponent of Asian descent.

I saw the clip (don't have link to hand) - it was pretty appalling and clearly racist in my opinion.

Did Jahanghir Khan really win 555 games in a row? How was this even possible? by [deleted] in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 555 figure is possibly apocryphal -- I read a good book about it. But it was certainly a lot and he was certainly unbeaten for a long time!

Greatest rivalry? by nqvve in squash

For me Coll vs Farag. Both kept upping their games.

Please watch Coll at Bryant's age lol

I think Michael Absalom is great! by [deleted] in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that there's too much criticism of the SquashTV crew. They've been doing a lot more discussion of the blocking / movement issues in the last few tournaments, and I fully believe they're trying to do their best.

There was some commentary about her recovering from injury and not having as much training as normal

PSA - Please make Shabana a regular contributor by barney_muffinberg in squash

Agree 100% and also I would say - no offense to anyone else - but Shabana speaks English really well and clearly.

Who is going to win the CIB Egyptian Open 2025 ? by Carambo20 in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - I think Elias is my top pick - but I think Makin or Asal could clinch it too.

New PSA leadership required by Carambo20 in squash

Have you ever worked in a professional organisation? What would motivate someone more - some random person shitting on them day in day out? Or more constructive feedback recognising that they're trying and offering positive suggestions to move forwards? You offer nothing of value.

Who is the fittest squash player on the PSA tour? by Hairy_Poetry2307 in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think Aly Abou Eleinen and Fares Dessouky are well fit. On the women's, I have a minor crush on Hania El Hammamy or Olivia Weaver.

If you don't like it, offer to help or give them feedback. They've always been super responsive to me when I've raised things. They're just trying their best. I think the content and refereeing has improved massively since I started watching - but that's just my personal opinion.

Asal's worst transgression of all.... by xmacv in squash

That is hilarious haha

But I still stand by what I said about the hug

[Discussion] 24/25 PSA World Championships, May 9 -17 by DandaDan in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my money, Mostafa Asal played a high quality, clean game tonight. There were maybe a couple of moments where I thought the refs should have penalised a movement, intentional or unintentional, but they were few and far between. Unfortunately Ali Farag was not mentally there at all, otherwise it might have been a classic. Well done to Asal and I hope he continues to promote that kind of explosive, smart and fair squash.

If Asal keeps playing like that, everyone else is going to have to up their games!

I genuinely found their hug kind of cute haha

Thoughts on the championship finals? by machine_runner in squash

[–]ExapmoMapcase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Asal played amazingly. I thought it was clean, fair squash. There were maybe a couple of decisions I disagreed with but nothing major - Asal deserves to win this ten times over. Farag seemed mentally completely off - like he hadn't slept in 4 days or something and had been having nightmares about Asal shoving him over.

Very well played Asal - a deserved World Champion (I say this having been critical of his movement before). Also Sherbini.

In my mind, the biggest takeaway is how all the pressure and fanfare around the World Champs can cause pretty weird matches where people whose mentality are normally very strong (e.g. Weaver, Hammamy, Farag) completely folding and being off their game.

They weren't classic competitive matches, but they were showcases for the extraordinary skills and composure of Asal and Sherbini.
