Coronavirus latest: Sport-by-sport look at the impact of the outbreak

:Headline: Coronavirus latest: Sport-by-sport look at the impact of the outbreak:
The European Championships have been postponed for a year, while the Olympics loom large on the horizon.

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 postponements also hitting domestic football in England and Scotland.

The Guinness Six Nations, London Marathon and Formula One have also been impacted, as has golf after the Masters was postponed.

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.
