  • This is how COVID-19 is affecting the world of sports
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has upended all areas of life - and sports is no exception.
  • Social distancing measures, brought in to limit the spread of coronavirus, have had a significant effect on sporting fixtures.
  • Every aspect of sport has been affected, from the athletes themselves to media coverage.large__BaZF5dx9AZqGPp6trA-fVXUKDWfdN92QXFUi8d6Ivk.jpg
The coronavirus pandemic has sent shockwaves around the world, leading to a public health emergency that has killed thousands and plunged the global economy into what the International Monetary Fund warns could be the sharpest downturn since the Great Depression.
Not surprisingly, COVID-19 has also upended the sporting calendar, with professional leagues everywhere suspending their activities to limit the spread of the virus. Even the Summer Olympics, typically one the world’s most-watched sporting broadcasts, has been pushed back a year.
