Chotrani eyeing spot at LA28

India's Veer Chotrani feels the inclusion of squash for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is a massive step for the sport and also presents himself and India an opportunity to bag an Olympic medal.

"It's a huge step in the correct direction for the sport. We have been trying for the last 25 years and we did it finally. So, it's very important that we made this decision and hopefully we have Indian representation at the Olympics. I'm hoping I'm one of them because I'm trying my best to make it. Yeah if I can do that the goal is to try and win a medal for the country," Chotrani stated in an interaction on the sidelines of the 79th CCI Western India Slam.
