The World Squash Library has now added the individual men's and women's World Junior Championships to its database for public use.

This follows on from the men's and women's records being added to the library. 

With the men's World Junior Championships starting in Sweden in 1980 and the women's event beginning in 1981 in Canada, the library covers nearly 40 years of history.

It features the dates, venues and results for each event, including the winners' photos and programme cover scans.

There are also champions posters featuring the winners in both digital and print form, which are free to download.

Australian Peter Nance became the surprise winner of the first World Junior Championships in 1980 in the Swedish city of Kungälv, while Pakistani squash legend Jansher Khan claimed the title in 1986.

Khan became the first of three players to secure both junior and senior world titles.

Egypt's Ramy Ashour became the youngest winner in history when he claimed the title in August 2004 aged 16, and he was crowned as the first double champion in 2006.

England's Lisa Opie defeated her compatriot Martine le Moignan to become the first junior women's champion in 1981 and, for the next 12 years, England and Australia shared the titles.

In 1987, Australian Sarah Fitz-Gerald became the first of six women to win junior and senior crowns, while in July 1999 Malaysia's Nicol David won the first of her two junior titles.

She went on to win a record eight world titles as a senior.

Since 2003, Egypt has won all but one of the women's junior titles, with the streak starting with Omneya Abdel Kawy. 

Her compatriot Nour El Sherbini won a record third title in 2013, having become the youngest-ever world champion in 2009 at the age of 13.

El Sherbini is now a four-time senior world champion.

Since 2009 and 2010, respectively, both junior events have been held annually.

The next event to be published to the library is expected to be the senior and junior world team events.

The World Squash Library was established last October by former World Squash Federation chief executive Andrew Shelley, as a free service for information on the sport.
