We’ve had the Opening Ceremony and now it’s down to business for the athletes at the Tokyo Olympics.
As you’ve probably seen team sports like softball and football are already underway at the Games but today is the first official day of competition with a huge schedule of events to look forward to.
We’ll see the Australian men’s hockey team in the Kookaburras this morning as well as the softball team.
Tennis gets underway with Stam Stosur and John Millman in action in the singles, while Ash Barty plays doubles today.
The first big medal chance of the Olympics for Australia will take place at 12pm AEST with the men’s road race.
Of course, the big one later tonight is the Matildas who will be looking to make it two wins in a row after defeating New Zealand earlier this week. They have the tough ask of taking on Sweden who defeated the USA 3-0.
The swimming also starts tonight with heats followed by the first finals tomorrow morning on Day 2.
