US Embassy Celebrates Sportsmanship & US-Egypt Ties at World Junior Squash Championships Luncheon
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo hosted a luncheon in honor of the World Junior Squash Championships, celebrating the shared passion for squash between the United States and Egypt. The event highlighted the strong bilateral ties between the two nations and showcased U.S. excellence in sports ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where squash will debut as an Olympic sport.
Hosted by Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Nathaniel Turner, the luncheon included Sara El Noamany, Egyptian Squash Federation Board Member, U.S. Embassy Spokesperson Gina Cabrera, and male and female junior squash players from both the U.S. and Egyptian national teams, along with their parents and coaches. The event underscored the importance of cultural exchange and sports diplomacy in fostering shared respect and collaboration.
Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Turner highlighted the importance of sports saying, 'One thing that makes international sports special is the way it brings people together. It may look like we are cheering for teams, but in the end, together we are rooting for all of these young people. Sports is teaching them important life skills and the relationships and friendships they build increase our people-to-people ties..' Turner also encouraged the players from the U.S. and Egyptian teams noting, 'You are the best of the best. You are coming together not just to compete, but to learn from one another, to push each other to new heights, and to showcase the sport you all love.'
As Egypt prepares to host the championship at the Black Ball Sporting Club in New Cairo from July 21 to August 1, the luncheon served as a meaningful prelude to the exciting competition ahead. The U.S. Embassy is proud to support these young athletes as they compete on the global stage and pave the way for squash's historic debut at the 2028 Olympics.

Swimming: McIntosh romps to world 400m freestyle gold, Ledecky third - Omni sports
Canadian swimming sensation Summer McIntosh obliterated her rivals to win the world 400m women's freestyle gold on Sunday, with American great Katie Ledecky third. The 18-year-old McIntosh romped home in 3min 56.26sec, nearly two seconds clear of China's Li Bingjie, who was followed by Ledecky in bronze. It was the world record holder's first world title in the event as she pursues five individual golds in Singapore. On the opening night of the meet, McIntosh and Ledecky, 28, renewed their rivalry from the Paris Olympics last summer. They will also meet in the 800m freestyle, billed as the most eagerly anticipated race of the championships. McIntosh took the lead early on and never looked back to demolish the rest of the field, pulling increasingly clear as the race progressed. McIntosh came to Singapore in red-hot form. She smashed the 400m freestyle world record at the Canadian trials in 3:54.18 in June. The three-time Olympic gold medallist sliced more than a second off the previous world record of 3:55.38 set by Australian Ariarne Titmus at the 2023 world championships. Olympic champion Titmus is not in Singapore because she is taking a season off before she dives back in to prepare for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. McIntosh won gold in the 200m butterfly, 200m medley and 400m medley at the Paris Olympics. She took silver in the 400m free. The McIntosh family's passion for sport runs deep: their mother Jill competed in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and older sister Brooke is a top pairs figure skater.
