Jahangir Khan

Imagine playing a game and winning, and winning, and winning, for five whole years without anyone beating you! That's what Jahangir Khan did. He was a professional squash player from Pakistan, and he was amazing at his sport.

Squash is a fast game played in a small room with a racket and a bouncy ball. Jahangir was so good, he won the biggest championship, the World Open, six times! He also won the British Open ten times in a row.

That's like winning the same school race every single year for a decade!

Jahangir Khan's winning streak was super, super long. From 1981 to 1986, he won 555 matches in a row. That's more than 500 games!

To put that in perspective, if you played one game every day, it would take you over a year and a half to play that many games. He was so unbeatable that Guinness World Records wrote about his amazing achievement. He retired from playing in 1993, but he stayed involved in squash, helping to lead the sport for many years.

Jahangir Khan is considered one of the greatest athletes ever because of his incredible skill and determination. He trained super hard and had amazing reflexes. He was also very smart about how he played the game.

His winning streak of 555 matches is the longest ever for any professional sport. This means he was better than any other athlete in any sport for that whole period. He made Pakistan very proud and inspired many young people to try squash.

After his amazing playing career, Jahangir Khan didn't stop being a part of squash. He became the President of the World Squash Federation. This is like being the principal of the whole squash world!

He helped make decisions about the sport and how it would grow. He served as President for six years and then became an Emeritus President, which means he's still an important advisor. He showed everyone that you can be a champion on the court and a leader off it too.
