Paul Coll: New Zealand Squash player on the 2028 World Championships being held in Auckland, sport's Olympic debut later that year

Greymouth's Paul Coll wants all the home court advantage he can get for the 2028 Squash World Championships. 

It's being held at Auckland's International Convention Centre in February, running concurrently with the inaugural World Club Championships.  

The world number two is already adapting his schedule for the event, which will lead into the sport's Olympic debut in Los Angeles later that same year. 

Coll told Mike Hosking he's putting in the work to figure out how to perform under the pressure that comes from unfamiliar conditions, the looming Olympics, and home court expectations. 

But he says at this stage it's just pure excitement – he's looking forward to 2028.
