It is a genuine all-continent, poor nations’ sport, unlike many.  Just need to sort out governance.

Judging seemed a bit dodgy here as well. It is a great spectator sport with great universality though. The sport just lacks so much integrity after the doping and governance scandals.

I quite like squash. The women’s bronze medal match was very entertaining.

Great match between the two Canadian buddies.

Interesting calls in squash.  Even the English commentators are in disagreement.

Are 2 entries per nation allowed in combat sport. We could have sent 2 each in wrestling.

Squash is known for such controversies

I'm not going to pretend that I know the rules, but the announcers have been rooting for the Englishwoman, and they were in strong disagreement on a few calls that went against the Canadian.  

 

Edit: And another "interesting" call.  Hope this isn't the new boxing where the winner is chosen before the match.

I like it too. Would not mind to have it in the Olympics having enjoyed the matches here in Birmingham, AL.

This is ridiculous.  The English girl can bodycheck the Canadian and it's fine.  Ridiculous.

This is why this sport is not in the Olympics.  England gets the gold, let's just go on with our lives, the ref has.
