Summary/Abstract: The early 2020s saw many changes, the most significant of which was the coronavirus pandemic. There was hardly any area of life that was not affected, but with my report I aim to trace and analyze the impact of the pandemic on sporting 131 life and competitions. More specifically, the life and career of cross-country skiers from the „Atlas“ sports club, the city of Velingrad. The survey contains 10 questions and was conducted through an electronic platform. Twenty competitors took part in it, ten boys and ten girls each. The results of the survey were processed mathematically and statistically. The analysis shows that despite the developed situation, the motivation of the competitors has not been lost and they commendably manage to compensate for the training. This leads to the conclusion that the months under quarantine did not have a detrimental effect on their sports form. The skiers of the sports club realize the seriousness and importance of not completely stopping their physical activity, and the results prove it. The respondents are an example of the fact that when sport is a way of life, one can always find a way to practice it, regardless of the circumstances and conditions in which they find themselves. They show that achievements and good results are achieved with tireless work, deprivation and perseverance. These three components are the key to success.
