The coronavirus outbreak has decimated the sporting schedule and affected some of 2020’s biggest events.

A range of sports have had to take action to prevent the spread of the virus, with Euro 2020 put on hold for 12 months and domestic football in England and Scotland suspended until at least the end of April.

Formula One has seen the Monaco Grand Prix cancelled, golf has postponed two of its major championships and the Guinness Six Nations, London Marathon, Boat Race and World Snooker Championship have all been affected.

With the Olympics also on the horizon this summer, the PA news agency takes a sport-by-sport look at the impact of the coronavirus.
