00:00Age is just a number is a phrase often used.
00:04Such can apply to 75-year-old Richard Hort, who has a record 13 National Open men's squash
00:10titles.
00:11He's now preparing to defend his over 50 title at the National Championships starting
00:16Tuesday at the QPCC Racket Centre.
00:18You're never ready for a tournament, all you can do is prepare as much as you can.
00:24Normally you do training off the court.
00:27I haven't been doing any training but I've been playing a lot of squash and hopefully
00:33I would be ready for the game that's coming up just now.
00:37What sort of boot do you put in?
00:39A lot of running on the squash court.
00:43It's a very anaerobic game, very quick.
00:47You need a lot of fast boosts of speed and energy too.
00:53While he may have a plethora of trophies in his cabinet, Hort is taking nothing for granted.
00:59After all, he has a lot of respect for his opponents.
01:02In the National Championships I won when I was a lot younger.
01:08But there's another gentleman also who is equally as good or probably has the edge, which is
01:14John Hawley.
01:16He has beaten me more times than I have beaten him.
01:19So hopefully it will be interesting if we both meet again somewhere in the tournament or perhaps
01:27at the finals.
01:28It's no secret that Hort has a penchant for the sport of squash.
01:33But what is it that actually keeps him going?
01:35Hort expects the overall tournament to be of a high standard and hopes that the public
02:00comes out to support the action which runs until June 7th.
02:0311th.
02:05Here we go now and we need to be able to cross.
02:05I want to cross for that.
02:05I'm hoping it's going to have some beautiful weapons for tonight.
02:06About 24 hours, it's going to be sealed.
02:07I'll be able to cross back and see you back in the future.
02:09And there's a couple of examples thatосс�ов.
02:10A lot of times, it's going to be sealed, and to be gone, it's going to be sealed.
02:12But we'll be explained when we've got some Sociology and a year ago.
02:13You've been doing it and I have to do the same thing.
02:14There are plenty of the same rules but it's going to move.
02:15Now, I won't be able to go.
02:16You've done everything.
02:18It's going to be prepared.
02:191.
02:20You've been set.
