Have you not bought a paper lately??
It may not have been on free to air... but I was in my newsagent today and read a large piece in the Age, the Herald sun and the Adelaide advertiser.
I have heard constant updates on the ABC with Peter Walsh... and on 3AW through to 5aa in Adelaide with Clinton Grybas.
The Grinham girls have certainly lifted the profile of squash in this country. There wouldnt be too many people that would have known their names prior to the games but I am sure there are a LOT that now can tell you who Austs top 2 squash sisters are.
Squash does need exposure... but for gods sake... prior to the event Rach had been world #1 for 16 months and had won British opens... and as I metioned before no-one non "squashie" would have been able to tell you her name. So I do not believe the "profile of squash" has been failed by channel 9... it rests fair and square with those in positions of power within the head organization in this country.
