Of course, COVID-19 has had a very negative impact on all major sporting events. The UEFA Champions League, the European Football Championship, the Olympics - all these events always attract thousands of people who want to see everything LIVE. And now we have to be content with television. These are not the same emotions and the wrong adrenaline.

Go and watch the highlights from Aus vs Sweden semi final.
The referees are under the directive whenever it comes to a goal to not blow their whistle early and let the VAR technology sort out any issues yet however during a questionable blocking call the ref called it an instant foul as the ball was going past the keeper, the sus part is the Aus players never moved and just held their ground and also had no impact on the goal what so ever.
I love the olympic spirit. Some minor interesting kinds of sports are interesting to watch. Normally you have no chance to see archery or hockey for example in tv. That the only opportunity to see those sports. Also some interesting human decision, like the splitting of the gold medal in the high jumping challenge. Also the emotions from the athletes are so nice to see. People who live for the dream of participation or better a medal. Olympia is special, and despite of the growing financiel aspect, the sport is in the middle of the game.
