To Philadelphia where for the second consecutive year, the US Open Squash championships were dominated by Egyptians as Mohamed ElShorbagy won the men's title and Raneem El Welily claimed the women's. Both players are also the reigning world champions and their recent triumphs moves them to the top of the World Tour Finals Leaderboard. Here's CGTN's Adel EL Mahrouky with more on how Egypt is dominating the sport.

For the second consecutive year, Egyptians win both the men and women titles of US Open Squash. World Number one Mohamed EL Shorbagy snatched the victory from the German Simon Rosner. Raneem EL Welily had an easy win over the world number one the Egyptian Nour EL Sherbini. The victory only consolidates Egyptian world dominance over the sport, that has been extending for years.

KARIM EL MESTIKAWY EGYPT SQUASH ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER "We've always been strong, but never seen such major achievements in world squash as we are seeing now. That's a collaborative work that included massive effort from parents, dedication from young players, and guidance from old Egyptian champions and the management of the sport's governing bodies. My generation was the first to win the world junior titles, now it's the norm for Egypt."

Egypt now has six of the top 10 men players in the world, among them the first four in the list. In Women they're the world's top three and the 7th. Egyptians have been winning world competitions for as far as the sport was created, yet there is a secret for this recent apparent boom.

KARIM EL MESTIKAWY EGYPT SQUASH ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER "The connectivity between generations is our secret. England was the best country in the world. Once the connection between the Squash generations was lost, they can't rise up anymore. Pakistan was the world champions for 20 years, when they ignored the young, the sport died. Our focus with the cadets is our success and we need to exert more now that the Olympics are coming and we're going to be part of it."

ASHRAF HANAFI EGYPT SQUASH TEAM TECHNICAL DIRECTOR "There are many reasons behind our success in Squash. Our coaches are the most expensive in the world. The most important is our raw material, our juniors, by nature they are talented. They start very early. We have 256 players playing under 11 years. In most countries they have 16. We focus on these players and make them world champions."

Egypt works continuously to inspire this massive base of squash cadets it has. Whenever an Egyptian wins a world title, the young players are always invited to join the celebrations, to talk to the champions and learn from them. And it's been paying off quite well. The record of the youngest and most titles in juniors in both genders are recorded under Egypt's name. Adel EL Mahrouky CGTN, Cairo.
