1. Squash
Now this is just mind-boggling, squash (and its close equivalents, such as racquetball) is one of the most popular sports in the world. Frantic, frenzied and exciting to watch, which is everything that an Olympic sport should be, youd have thought squash would have been added to the programme a long time ago, rather than competing against eight other sports for a solitary spot at the 2020 games, having never even been a demonstration sport before. Truly international, with British, Egyptian, Malaysian, Batswana and Australian players amongst the worlds top 20, the sport is featured at the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and Pan-American Games, but not at the greatest event of them all. With the possibility for both singles and doubles events, the concern regarding squash's inclusion is apparently that its pace would make it difficult to televise, though no such concerns seem to arise about table tennis, which is played at the same blistering speed. With 185 nations and 20 million men and women involved in the game, Squash would be a justifiable inclusion at any future games, unlikely to attract any sort of controversy amongst the public whatsoever.
