Squash For 2016 Day produced a resounding rallying cry all over the world to support squash's bid for inclusion in the 2016 Olympic Games. In a worldwide festival of squash, leading professionals lent their support to the bid by joining in hundreds of Olympic-themed events, all taking place on the same day. The biggest event of the day was held at the Apawamis Club in Rye, New York, where squash legends Jonathon Power and John White took part in a 100-a-side Battle Of The Border fixture.
Other events took place in India (Taj Mahal and the Gateway to India), Malaysia (Petronas Towers), South Africa (Table Mountain) and London, where enterprising student James Poole showed his passion for squash by hiring a London bus to tour the city and stop off for photographs at the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.
