Jamaica’s Squash Surge at PanAm Qualifiers | Jamaica News

Jamaica’s squash team made waves at the PanAm Qualifiers in Paraguay, punching above their weight despite a quarter-final exit. Declan James, a rising star, stole the spotlight with a bronze medal and a gritty win over top-ranked Mexican Leonel Cardenas — the same player who’d beaten him earlier in the tournament. Teammates Lewis Walters and Chris Binnie powered through early wins, including a convincing two-nil demolition of host nation Paraguay, before falling short against Mexico in a nail-biting 2-1 loss. Though the team bowed out, their resilience and James’ breakout performance signal a bright future as they gear up for more tournaments on the road to the 2028 LA Olympics — where squash is finally making its Olympic debut.
