LITTLE from page 1B
Eugene is recognized as
the track capitol of the
U.S.A. Athletes love to
come to Hayward Field and
participate in track meets.
The spectators support all
the athletes competing with
knowledge and enthusiasm
for their efforts. Autzen
Stadium and Knight’s
Arena have vocal crowds
with decibels of noise.
The lack of spectators at
the Olympics will tone
down the electricity that
accompanies the Olympics.
Watching on television will
even be less exciting. It
will be interesting as to
how the athletes will adjust
to empty venues. When the
professional and collegiate
games were played, there
were cardboard fan cutouts
and crowd noise on loud-
speakers. How will the
Olympic organizers try to
generate intensity?
Not all sports require
crowd noise for superior
athletic
performances.
There are many that may
not need the noise but
thrive on it when it is there.
It is in those sports we may
not see the truly great
record-breaking perfor-
mances.
I watch some Olympic
sports because nowhere
else can I see them except
every four years. The sports
I watch every season are
not those I intend to watch
during the 2021 Olympic
Games.
