Jahangir Khan
Jahangir Khan, HI, (born 10 December 1963, in Karachi, Pakistan〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=When was Jahangir Khan born? )〕) (sometimes spelled "Jehangir Khan") is a former World No. 1 professional squash player from Pakistan, who is considered to be the greatest player in the history of squash.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greatest player )〕〔(Jahangir injury hastens final exit ), ''The Independent'', 24 September 1992〕〔(Jahangir Khan hopes for squash's 2016 Olympic debut ), Webindia123.com, 26 August 2008〕 Jahangir Khan is originally from Neway Kelay Payan, Peshawar.〔(Poor Peshawar village home of squash dynasty ). Central Asia Online. 15 March 2010.〕 During his career he won the World Open six times and the British Open a record ten times. From 1981 to 1986, he was unbeaten in competitive play. During that time he won 555 matches consecutively, the longest winning streak by any athlete in top-level professional sports as recorded by Guinness World Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beyond Sport )〕 He retired as a player in 1993, and has served as President of the World Squash Federation from 2002 to 2008, when he became Emeritus President.
== Playing career ==
Jahangir was coached initially by his father, Roshan, the 1957 British Open champion, then by his late brother Torsam. After his brother's sudden death he was coached by his cousin Rehmat Khan, who guided Jahangir through most of his career. Jahangir was a sickly child and physically very weak. Though the doctors had advised him not to take part in any sort of physical activity, after undergoing a couple of hernia operations his father let him play and try out their family game.
In 1979, the Pakistan selectors decided not to select Jahangir to play in the world championships in Australia, judging him too weak from a recent illness. Jahangir decided instead to enter the World Amateur Individual Championship and, at the age of 15, became the youngest-ever winner of that event.
In November 1979, Jahangir's older brother Torsam, who had been one of the leading international squash players in the 1970s, died suddenly of a heart attack during a tournament match in Australia. Torsam's death profoundly affected Jahangir. He considered quitting the game, but decided to pursue a career in the sport as a tribute to his brother.
