Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The COVID-19 pandemic caused the most significant disruption[1] to the worldwide sporting calendar since World War II. Across the world and to varying degrees, sports events were cancelled or postponed.[2][3][4] The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo were rescheduled to 2021.[1] At the time, spectators had no games to watch and players no games to play.[5] Only a few countries and territories, such as Hong Kong,[1] Turkmenistan,[6] Belarus, and Nicaragua, continued professional sporting matches as planned.[7]
