Instinctively, the lockdown seemed like an anomalous wave. A moment later came the reason. The loss lasted a second, then we looked around and thought that, of course, seeing the Olympics postponed was not the best, but sport, as important as it is, is not the most important part of life. The moment was and remains dramatic for many people. There are those who die, those in hospital, those who see their loved ones leave, those who do not know if tomorrow they will still have a job and then you immediately understand that the drama is elsewhere ”.
