What sports do you think that can resume amid Covid-19 scare.

[Welsh]

Ideally? Any sport that can be performed abiding by social distancing guidelines. However, the realistic approach is that the majority of sporting events around the world will start to resume in the next month or so, if there isn't a second spike in some countries. There's already talks about Premier league football starting back up, and the UK is still having several hundred deaths a day. So, its quite clear that despite a death every few minutes, there's still demand of sporting events being opened up.

I'll admit, that several sports will be performed with no public presence, but this still brings up a few risks. Take the premier league as an example. There are multiple players in the league which have contracted the virus, and several more might not be showing any visual symptoms.

Any sports which has the high possibility of exchanging fluids, and busting peoples noses open should not be carried out. Unless, everyone inside that event has been tested. However, testing someone doesn't mean that they didn't contract the virus after the test. Therefore, unless you're testing someone mere hours before the event, and somehow get the result back before the event occurs then there's still risks of opening up.

It is totally correct! I think that sports will resume following strict preventive measures to try to save the season of some games. If the result is positive, at least there is a beginning,  no public hearing is yet estimated at events in Germany until the end of August.
We have already noticed how football, boxing and now F1 are preparing to resume the events following all these protocols.

Some of the places today are already made a lockdown and under the enhance community quarantine which is only people can go outside in the single-family there is only a one person to buy all the things they need and if you are an event organizer you will not lift up to continue the sports also some of the countries temporarily canceled the sports activity to make sure the safety of the people and the athlete also it is a good opportunity to make more practice on their upcoming games because it looks like they have a long vacation.

If there is a chance that they will continue this kind of games I think they just use the indoor sports that have only a camera and people have a social distancing some of the possible sports may continue in indoor are

• Table tennis
• Badminton
• Volleyball
• Bowling

Still, it depends because they need to make sure the safety of every people who will play and watch the game.

Most sports should be quite liable for a return in the scene, it just depends on whether the teams are able to or not IMO. Especially if various teams were actually hit by the virus quarantine. Giving an example such as basketball, if all teams were all to be reported as clear of the virus not just by checking out the tests but rather by viewing the areas they have been from, they can easily see whether it's applicable for the basketball scene to return or not. The audience at this point is secondary atm, since I for one would consider not allowing any audience inside stadiums of games for the sake of safety procedures. Ofc, strict checks could be done but I doubt that would actually be quite enough.

tennis and badminton is a game that really keeps the distance between players but the ball they hold can be a medium of transmission of the covid19 virus, players must really use personal protective equipment such as masks or gloves when playing

actually I really want to watch a sports match, I'm bored with the reruns that continue to air

Uhm, using masks or gloves as playing could be quite a hinder ngl. If you've never tried out sports, just the way of you breathing freely is enough to influence your performance and if masks were worn while in-game, hell, that would impede the way you breathe imo. Even gloves could influence the grip on rackets and the like.

Many of us here are really a fan of basketball since we're a kids, and we really like watching our favorite team compete with the other team and root for the championship. Unfortunately, it stopped or have been suspended because of the risk of getting the virus and last March, some players tested positive like Rudy Gobert of Utah Jazz and his other teammate Donovan Mitchell.

Basketball is also going the same as the other sports without any fan so I think it's viable to apply it to that sport. I guess most sports can do the same as long there will be fewer people working on the coverage and in the entire arena of that specific sport.

Although there are no audience that can watch the game, there are still risk of getting the virus from a player to player contact with the different team that's why as soon as possible, they should monitor first the health of the players and prioritize it so that they career will not be affected. Not only the players, but also all those staffs and personnel of the NBA that make this continuation possible.

On the news report, some of the practice facilities for basketball are about to reopen.

Practice with your team in a safe and isolated practice facilities are good so that they maintain the skills and condition of their players when it comes to playing the sports. They should always prioritize safety and security of the players so that they don't need to go out because basketball is really a physical sports.

[NavI_027]

Say no more, UFC already resumed their events and now slowly going back to normal business . Actually their next event would be the UFC Fight Night 176. Woodley vs Burns is the main event.

- Poker

Hmm, I'm a little bit skeptical regarding this one. You know, playing cards is one of the dirtiest objects. Different hands handle it from one player to another thus a best place for faster transmission of the virus. So I think if poker tournaments will now open once again, chips and cold cash should not only be on top of the table but mainly hand sanitizers lol.

Any sports can resume without the audience. I think the talk should be about how will the players, the coaching staff, and officiating staff will be protected during the game. Specially to those contact sport just like basketball. Should they be regularly test? How can they ensure safety travelling city to city playing different teams. They can avoid mass crowd by not allowing audience but the game itself is a physical sport. They should ensure safety of the players as well.

In.this situation individual.sports and those played outside will have advantage. So, tennis, golf, swimming, atlethics probably. Also, in.this sports it's easier to maintain some special measures if necessary.
Some people maybe still are afraid of pandemic but on the other side we all want life to be back to normal and sport is ideal way to start living again.
And all of us who like sport betting can hardly wait for competitions to.start again.

Totally agree with that! Individual sportsmans must continue to compete, as they are almost not at risk of infection and do not pose a threat for other people.

golf is single player but rest sports games listed above are also being played by two or more people , not to mention the crowd too and the other people such as judges , anouncers , scorers and other that are part of the game  .

there is still a risk if we will look at it  but that if covid still exist . if there will be no covid no more threats will appear and all kind of sports gambling can returned to normal but for now its too early to  go outside and live normally .

[maydna]

No matter what the sports, it will need the authorities to approve their events so people will not worry if they want to come and watch the events. The sports event promoter needs to prepare everything to make sure that the events will be safe from the virus, and perhaps, they will use some protocol to make everything clean.

Perhaps, each country will have a different list of sports that can resume, and not all sports can do that at the same time. My list will be the same as the other member

Anybody that can be played by one person only has a possibility to resume right now even the virus is still there.

Those outdoor games like soccer, football, basketball etc. will be the ones who are affected right now as they will resume more late than these indoor games. I think even Golf will not resume for me IMO.
Another sports that is still ongoing even though there is still virus is the E-sports tournament. Right now in my country, the tournament for Mobile Legends Season 5 is happening even though there is a virus because they can still play in their respective homes (or bootcamps). E-sports tournament isn't affected by the virus that much as they can still play in their homes.

As long as it is being played by 1-2 people maybe and it can be played indoor and no audience then it can still resume.

[Ucy]

Mine would be games(outdoor games esp) like Long tennis, table tennis, biking, running, horse racing, weight lifting, etc... I have no problem with audience as long as they are not crowded, they are not in enclosed areas, they aren't properly spaced, not applying other safety measures etc.
Golfing sounds safe in this times. Not sure I know about billiards...is it like snooker or it's snooker?

[fortunecrypto]

It's not easy for other sports to just resume their activity because of lots of factors especially in a sport where it involves lots of players and staff.

What sports do you think that can be resumed amid the current situation without a hassle but still following the health protocol and standards?

Here is my list.

- Billiards
- Swimming
- Golf
- Boxing
- Poker

These sports can also be played without an audience.

Any sporting events can go back provided  that they can assured that they are compliant with the expert's advie of physical distancing,no audience, quarantine before the actual encounter, we can list chess match and dart games as a game that can go back easily as they can easily comply  

[onrise]

Any sports which can be played with minim number of people coming into contact of each other or can be played maintaining a good separation and social distance could be preferred now. One of them is like Golf, Chess, Horse riding etc. Here we do not require any audience as for each them I guess for now that will be out of question considering no large gathering of people at one time.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

In my own personal opinion, the only sports event that is possible to resume during the pandemic are indoor sports, events, but still without any audiences because of social distancing. Esports can also be resume during lockdown because they can still play even they stay inside their homes, as long they have an internet connection and other technologies to used.

Boxing and Poker has been already in the scene having their games make happen so those are surly in the list.

While Billiards?well this does not need audience when playing so yeah online watching is enough.

Swimming on the other hand has no betting happening right?so i think this is not part of gambling discussion.

Golf can be done without anyone around because this game is created as such so yeah it can be done as well.

[Russlenat]

Obviously major sports that are played with a team are not in the list, they do have close contact but actually it's not a problem as long as the organizers will ensure all the players in the floor are not positive with covid-19.

Honestly, I like to see Basketball and Football to resume, I think they can do that without an audience, I had a thread here before that there is a soccer football but was played in a close door, so anything is possible, it's only up to the government if they will approve it or not.

[Natalim]

Sports that are played with less audience can resume, however, we need to understand that it's a different situation now, they need to have an extreme measures so they can git red of the virus, one mistake will eventually blow out everything, good to see actually if sports will slowly resume but I agree that all the sports listed in OP are the sports that should resume now if they haven't yet.

Boxing will resume next month according to Bob Arum, it will be played with no crowd but will be televised live.

[Janation]

Taking the check-ups aside, these are the sports that I think would still continue:

*track and field events
*swimming
*Boxing
*esports(obviously)
*Golf
*Bowling

I don't include games like Chess since I don't think that it is a bit of popularity in the betting community unlike some of the games on my list. I think Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, and Volleyball will also continue but we all know how these teams are so close and would always touch other people so there would be a lot of people that would be going against that.

[Sadlife]

Those mentioned above could likely resume even Taekwando tournament has started to take place but virtually, i think they've used motion sensor in order for the avatars to move.
This method in my opinion is much more safer not only that its 100% safe. We could see our favourite players play and wage.
