Amidst the global pandemic, athletes are preparing for a delayed Olympic Games a once in a lifetime opportunity for many. With the scare of catching Covid and blocking your appearance. Athletes are on tenterhooks as they carefully prepare their way to the games.
The lack of spectators at this Olympic Games will be unprecedented. This will have an effect on athletes, both negatively and positively.
