Coronavirus: Living in lockdown
After another week of sporting event cancellations, we bring you the latest on the impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on global sport. This week we discuss the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and how Formula 1 has been effected. We take a look at how the crisis is having an impact on the NBA, where players are being tested for the virus without struggle, in stark comparison to the American public. Also this week we talk to former international New Zealand netballer Catherine Latu, who is trapped under lockdown in Italy. Together with her husband, Jimmy, who plays for Italy’s national rugby union side and their baby son Bash. We speak to Catherine about the realities of life under lockdown. Plus we hear from Fifpro on how footballers across the world are being affected and speak to Hull KR owner Neil Hudgell on the future of Rugby League. And we reflect on the new AFL season in Autsralia which got underway behind closed doors this week, with public opinion split due to the coronavirus outbreak.
