Abstract

It could be argued that the sport stakeholders most negatively impacted by COVID-19 over the past two years have been the athletes. In this chapter the authors explore the impact of the cancellation and postponement of sport across 2020 and 2021 on professional athletes. Specifically, the chapter examines how athletes have been impacted socially, psychologically and economically. Furthermore, the isolation suffered by athletes through their participation in bio-secure ‘bubble’ environments as well as taking part in various forms of quarantining are also examined.
