The first competition of the Tokyo Olympics took place on Tuesday -- three days before the opening ceremony -- when Japan defeated Australia 8-1 in a softball game.

The U.S. defeated Italy 2-0 in the second of the day’s three softball games. No fans are being allowed at the Games because of the pandemic, so only about 50 spectators were at the venue, likely team and Olympic officials and media.
