Sports and athletics is an integral part of human culture. For hundreds of years, sporting events have brought this world together.

In this episode, we discuss (1) the impact covid 19 has had on sports, (2) how the recovery may look like and (3) how it’s impacted people’s lives. Join us for this three pointer episode!
