Olivia Weaver, the world No. 4 squash player, is set to compete in the World Squash Team Championships semi-final against Malaysia. She recently recovered from a back injury that forced her to withdraw from the Hong Kong Squash Open. Weaver emphasizes that squash requires quick decision-making under pressure, making it a sport where academically skilled individuals often excel. She is a Princeton graduate and was a semi-finalist at this year's world championships. Looking ahead, Weaver hopes to represent Team USA in squash's Olympic debut at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
