Two players, four walls, one ball hurtling back at you at over 200 km\/h. In 2028, squash will make its Olympic debut on a Hollywood backlot. In the German-speaking world, however, squash remains largely overlooked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every rally forces you into quick steps, deep lunges, and split-second decisions under pressure. Between points, there\u2019s barely time to catch your breath. The walls hand back every mistake immediately.<\/p>\n
