In general sports where players have no physical contact with each other can be played during the pandemics.

There's really a lot of them like all bicycle sports, horse races, f1 races, all marksmanship sports, tennis, ski jumps, skating...

Participants can be easily screened for covid as long as the stadiums are closed down there's really not much danger even in close combat sports like boxing.

I think that all sports can meet set standards and criteria just all health recommendations need to be obeyed and that is duable
Although to my opinion sports are not sports without spectators in current moment that would still pose a big risk so limitations are still needed.
However, individual sports will probably see the biggest revival in this still risky period of pandemic.

Currently most of the main stream sports are resuming.  Cricket matches and football matches are already resumed and i know few boxing events to be played in the next month.  The scare of covid 19 is gone and most sporting events are resuming with precautions.

I think soon most of the sport will be fully resumed, unless we meet with the second wave of coronavirus, which again forces everyone to introduce strict quarantine measures. The most important thing now is not to admit spectators, or to admit them in a very limited number with the control of compliance with all possible norms. Otherwise, the situation can only get worse. Now it is very important to bring sports back to the world.

Here is my list.

- Billiards
- Swimming
- Golf
- Boxing
- Poker

These sports can also be played without an audience.

Yo man. In fact, any sport can be resumed and played without an audience, even such as football or basketball. The probability to get corona in active games is too low (mostly, football players are far from each other), at least lower than the probability to be infected in shopping mall or market. I don't understand even now why most of them were stopped due to this pandemia.

But if the second wave will create another quarantine, then all of sports even linked above will be stopped again (and it doesn't matter).

I can confirm your words from practice. Probably some people have heard that the national football (soccer) championship was not stopped in Belarus because of the coronavirus. And there was no mass infection of the players. Of course, there were isolated cases of diseases and even isolation of entire teams due to suspicion. However, the situation is completely under control.

Any sport meets your criteria. If all security protocols are followed then I don't see a problem.
Healthy people should play with healthy people, then there will be no chance of infection.

As for the fans, the stands can be completely isolated from the players in order to protect them from accidental interference.
In addition, a vaccine has already been invented in Russia, it is likely that a victory over Covid is a matter of time.

Then we can say the the football association of Belarus are good in implementing the health protocol implemented by health experts and even the entire country this is the tally of Belarus Covid infection out of 9 million population not really bad compared to some countries with the same population.

Total cases

We've seen some of the sports that resumed already most of it are in the U.S.
For sure the sports bettors including me are happy with this.
We know the risks of it especially US is the epicenter of the virus right now but they are more focused on the economy.

I've seen NBA, Football and other games resumed in US already and this will continue. They can be replicated too by other sports in different countries where sports can still be played without audiences and the people can still watch them thru television.

After over 5 months we have set up a protocol on how to avoid this pandemic and because of this protocol any business and industries and sports events can go back as long as they can follow the protocol laid out by the experts of course it only applies to sports participants but not audiences or viewers.
The other sporting events can imitate what the NBA did.

They have live web cast audiences who are being shown on the monitor substituting the usual audience that they have. It's a good alternative for the other sports if they want to make their games lively and still have the presence of their audiences and fans.

It's a temporary solution until everything goes back in normal.

The temporary solution is somehow quite effective since if we look at the NBA right now they manage to resume the games with in line in safety and health protocols of the government. And I think the other sports like soccer or other contact sports will follow this since they can actually do the same if they have stricter regulation on new normal formats.
Very effective and entertaining.

We all got what the NBA wants to deliver to us. And with all that temporary solution that they have made, they are making their fans loving them more because of the efforts that they are doing for their season.

Others can be inspired and do what they did.

Well the US government allowed the resuming of sports events such as NBA and Boxing, even physical casino's started reopening in Las Vegas.
With the 4 Million plus infected in the US, it doesn't seem to affect them. In fact President Donald Trump encourage businesses to open.
They look that they do not to care at all but there will be certain protocols to be followed and I think they are all caring and following those protocols stricly. It's with the people and for the places that have crowded places and doesn't seem to worry about the virus.
It's their fault if they will have problems in the future related to the covid19 and they can't blame it to anyone but to themselves. Most sporting events are following protocols and applying the measures.

Any game can be played without audience. This can be practiced with the support of more and more number of court organizers. Already more number of soccer games have been played without audience. Upon the same right now I don't feel any form of restrictions with any games. Based on the planning things were executed better.

I guess you could take NBA away from that and I don't know about Boxing. Casinos operated like they used to except following the certain protocols NBA resumed but not the same as these casinos and bars, they have their own place isolated to play the games and the players also stay there. PBA also said that they will be doing the same.

that will also help in avoiding further infection. as there's no actual audience, the risk for those spectators is eliminated. in case of infection, it will be contained among players and important staffs. i guess thats for the betterment of everybody while we are still awaiting for this vaccine. right now, we can just enjoy our favourite sport watching it at the comfort of our home. and we are fortunate that a lot of sports events are going back again.

I agree with your choices but sports without an audience is a little bit difficult for players to play to their full potential unlike having an audience
that are cheering them in every time they can score and etc.

I see some boxing event that are being held even in this pandemic situation so boxing is already part of the sports that can resume amid this covid-19 sacare.
Maybe chess also as it only require small audience or it can be played without an audience.

Best would be to keep focusing on sports that are played outdoor like football or sports that are done with a few people, like boxing or billiard, where only 2 opponents are needed. The biggest risk to be spreading the corona virus with sports is the not by the participants, but the viewers. Crowding thousands of people closely together in stadiums seems like a huge risk in my opinion. The first step would be to resume all the major sports again and only be able to watch them on TV, as is already be done with football tournaments.
Agree, the lesser participants in a sports tournament, the lesser risk in COVID-19. But I know that athletes have a good immune system even though they're getting positive of COVID-19, there is less risk but we should remember that risk is still a risk. This shouldn't be the protocol only, they should implement a lot of protocols that will secure the safety of all the participants.
Yes, I agree with you both. Maybe it would be of help if there would be only audiences, for these people to get their tests first if they are covid carrier or not before entering the venue. Protocols should be prioritized since there is a great risk when lots of people gather in one place.

Anyone who has ever been to the stadium during a sports match can say that the feeling of watching at the stadium is much stronger than when watching a sports match on TV. However, it is better to watch matches on TV than not to watch them at all. So I am very happy that life after quarantine is restored and sports and other things are returning to our lives.

There is no doubt about it that watching in stadium makes you very lively along with other audiences cheering your favourite team is different experience than watching at home with few people or alone. But considering this pandemic when you have no other choice so accepting it and enjoying moment even at home when seeing those folks on ground just a great thing to see.

Definitely. "A black sheep has at least a shred of wool" - there is a saying in my country. Many people are already tired of watching recordings of old games. That is why we are now very happy at least that sports events have resumed.
