Australia v Japan: Softball returns to the program for the first time since 2008 as Australia faces host nation Japan in their opening round.

This will be a tough game for the Aussies.

‘They eat and breathe softball’: Australia set to take centre stage in Olympic opener

Softball might seem like an unpopular choice to open the Games, but the sport’s status in Japan is a far cry from the situation in Australia.

Not a good start Marty. I fear you may have jinxing powers.

Wonder what the rules are around the athletes being forced to attend the Opening Ceremony?

I am particularly uninterested in them as a spectacle and even more so with an empty stadium. If I was an athlete I would be doing everything I could to minimise the risk of testing positive to Covid and wrecking my Olympics. I would not want to be there.

i dont think you are forced to attend. A lot of athletes who are competing early don't parade because of what the ceremony will take out of them.

I feel the same way.

Gee the team may regret that goal to NZ. They are in a tough grouping especially with Sweden beating the US.

Fingers crossed

It would look eerie with no people at the opening ceremony

Was a hard few minutes at the start to watch.
So many fake injuries. Slow-mo leaves no where to hide.
I particularly liked the Argentinian who held the back of his head for three minutes as if an American Indian had scalped it.
Replays showed no contact whatsoever. Even with the ground!

Not sure how they ban such tactics re fake injuries it's blatant.

Bit of a snooze fest.

I need 3 TV's

That was a cracking opening game of hockey for the men’s team. Nice win

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Just offloaded a gorilla on Sammy Kerr to snag 3 sausage rolls v Sweden at 151.

Wish me luck.

Watching the soccer girls constantly retreating Gimpy....its easy to see where Bucks (et. al) got their defensive game plans from!

McKeon looked sensational as she led the qualifying for the 100-metre butterfly semi-finals. McKeon (dead-heated) with Zhang Yufei in a slick 55.82
