Union Sports Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya felicitated India’s World Junior Squash Championship medallists in Delhi, including Anahat Singh, who became the first Indian to win the women’s singles title. He urged the athletes to aim for future milestones like the Asian Games 2026 and Olympics 2028.
PV Sindhu congratulated Anahat Singh after the teenager became the first Indian to win the World Junior Squash Championships title. Sindhu praised Anahat's talent and maturity, saying the landmark triumph marked the beginning of many more major victories in her promising career.
Top seed Anahat Singh reached the World Junior Squash Championships semi-finals after defeating Egypt's Habiba Rizk in four games. The Indian became the first from the country to make consecutive World Junior semi-finals and is now two wins away from history.
The boys lost to England 1-2 in the fifth-place match, while the girls defeated New Zealand 2-1 in the seventh-place clash, with both matches going to the decider.
