The 104 IOC Members

The members of the International Olympic Committee will meet at the Hilton Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina from September 4-10, 2013.

Among other items, the agenda includes selection of the host city for the 2020 Olympic Games, election of a new IOC President, and the possible selection of a new sport to be added for the XXXII Olympiad.

On September 8, 2013, squash fans around the world will be particularly interested in the selection of a new sport as squash, wrestling, and the combined bid of baseball / softball are the three finalists. The other finalists have previously been a part of the Olympics. Squash has not.

This campaign, which was orchestrated by the World Squash Federation, has been squash's finest. Regardless of the result of the IOC vote, the leadership of World Squash, its members, and the global squash community should be proud of the coordinated campaign.
