I don't claim familiarity with squash community in Egypt but I'm familiar enough with the Egyptian sport culture in general.<br /><br />It might surprise many non Egyptian squash fans to know that squash is not a popular sport in Egypt. Ashour, El-Shorbagi and Shabana are not household names in Egypt. Few people outside of the small squash Egyptian squash community will remember or recognize the Egyptian top players.<br /><br />Contrary to the assumptions you had when you were young, most of the squash players come from reasonably well to do families that can afford elite club memberships and coaching. I think this allowed for the development of a relatively closed squash community with it's own subculture that prides itself in its achievement without expecting recognition at home.<br /><br />You're spot on about the creativity and of the Egyptian squash players. When it comes to sports, Egyptians in general appreciate mastery, creativity even sometimes over results. Think of Brazilian soccer. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
