From Kobe memorials to empty stadiums, these sports photos from 2020 are ones you’ll remember

For the first time possibly ever, sports weren’t fully able to provide an outlet for people in 2020.

Not even games and sporting events could go on for a big stretch during the COVID-19 pandemic, and when they did manage to resume, we had to acclimate to seeing empty stadiums, unable to host fans, due to concerns about the novel coronavirus.

But despite sports being idle for so long, there were still plenty of memorable photos produced.

Here are some of the most memorable pictures from 2020, captured by Getty Images.
