🎵 Hello darkness, my old friend 🎵 Coaches and athletes are opening up about the sound of silence at the Tokyo Olympics. Across all sports, they miss the energy that only noisy, crowded stadiums can bring.
Jagger Eaton finishes with bronze in men’s street skateboarding, but Nyjah Huston, one of the favorites for gold, finishes seventh.“Well, of course, the Olympic Games without spectators is a little bit uncomfortable,” said Yung Wei Yang, a Taiwanese judoka. “We are used to the noise, to noisy stands.”
“I feed from the energy from the crowd, negative or positive,” Djokovic said upon arriving in Japan to represent Serbia. “It’s one of the biggest reasons I keep playing.” Has there ever been an Olympics where the sound of swimmers’ arms churning through water carried into stands? After U.S. softball pitcher Cat Osterman induced an inning-ending groundout at Yokohama Stadium — a sleek ballpark near the water in that city — a teammate could be heard saying, “Good job,” as they jogged off the field.
Empty stadiums are not entirely new. As sports returned after the coronavirus shutdown, many national and international competitions enforced spectator bans at first. But in numerous countries around the world, fans returned as restrictions eased. Even in Japan, professional baseball and sumo wrestling have reopened their doors.
