With the Kentucky Derby moving to the end of the summer (and increasingly being nicknamed the "Labor Derby"), the question is when or even whether the Preakness, the next event in racing's Triple Crown, will take place. Officials recently shot down a report saying it would be in October. And what about the Belmont Stakes in COVID-hit New York?

What will sports look like in a post-COVID-19 era? While sports are announcing their comeback events, the spectator side is an example of entrepreneurial one-upmanship, with companies hawking everything from drones that can be used crop duster-style to spray disinfectant onto stadium seats, to computer programs creating cardboard fans to fill spaces.

Multiple efforts are underway across the U.S. to support and bring youth sports back to active play. And those efforts are only as strong as people's ability to band together and support the entire youth sports industry as a whole, not one sport. "We can't work in silos," one organizer said, "We have to work together. That way, we can move forward."

Is late summer when the industry will hit the restart button? While it's impossible to say exactly when COVID-19 will cease to be a threat (and even harder to tell when parents will feel comfortable traveling with their children to participate in large group sports events), some are positioning their events' comebacks for late summer and early fall.

Need more proof the sports tourism industry is moving forward? USA Triathlon has it. The organization's 2022 and 2023 Youth and Junior Nationals, as well as its Age Group National Championships, are up for bid. Bidding documents and information are available. Note: Deadlines, some as soon as June 30, 2020, are in effect.

In the U.S., the debate generally starts because people are not familiar with a given sport. Meet kabbadi, the wannabe-Olympic sport you never heard of, in which you don't inhale until you're supposed to.
