Dozens of international sport events have been cancelled or postponed around the world amid an outbreak of a new type of coronavirus. The pathogen's effect has been felt across a range of sports - from athletics, rugby and golf to football, tennis and motorsports.

Qualifiers for the Summer Games in Japan are among a growing list of competitions either pushed back or relocated because of the virus.
