Joshna Chinappa: Been there, done that -- Joshna Chinappa can quite relate to India's teen squash queen Anahat Singh, who, just like her, found early success and has now made it to the top echelons of the sport.

Joshna became the youngest National Champion at age 14 and has so far won two World Championship gold medals in doubles (2022, 2024), a gold medal each in the World Cup and Commonwealth Games (doubles) and medals at the Asian Games and Asian Championships in the last two decades.

Anahat started at the same age and at the age of 18, has won 16 titles, gold medals in the World Cup and Asian Championships and medals at Asian and Commonwealth Games. She is currently ranked in the top 20 in world rankings and is expected to be a medal contender when squash makes its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028.
