This World Squash Federation (WSF) event had been canceled over the past three years due to pandemic disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Over 200 young athletes from 37 countries around the world gathered to compete for prestigious men\u2019s and women\u2019s world junior titles, as well as men\u2019s team championship. Individual matches took place August 11-16 and were immediately followed by team events from August 17-21.<\/p>\n<p>Miriam faced players from Canada and Poland in her opening matches. The high-pressure environment offered an invaluable opportunity for her to gain solid international experience.
