GiveMeSport Women recaps everything that has happened overnight, what’s to come today, and the latest Team GB news.

What happened overnight at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics?

Naomi Osaka gets Tokyo Olympics underway

The 2020 Opening Ceremony was a pinnacle moment as supporters were finally able to watch the Olympics get underway once again. While no spectators are permitted to enter the venues across Japan, having the Games back after such uncertain times is enough for most.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka officially launched the Games by lighting the Olympic cauldron in Tokyo. The Japanese native was the final bearer of the Olympic torch and her involvement was extremely poignant after the struggles she has faced recently with her mental health.

The world number two will be looking to win a medal at her first ever Olympics as the women's tennis tournament unfolds.

Yang Qian sets new Olympic record in shooting

China's Yang Qian dominated the women's 10m air rifle event and set a new Olympic record this morning during the final.

Qian's gold medal performance was the first medal won at this year's Games. Anastasiia Galashina of Russia finished behind her and Nina Christen of Switzerland was third to win bronze.

Tennis singles results

Team GB's Heather Watson is out of the Olympics after an opening round defeat in the women's singles tennis tournament. 

The former British number one was beaten by Germany's Anna-Lena Friedsam 7-6, 6-3.

However, the likes of world number eight Iga Świątek and world number 11 Barbora Krejčíková are through to the next round.

Zhou Lijun takes weightlifting gold

China have banked a gold medal after Zhou Lijun came out on top in the women's 49kg weightlifting event.

The 22-year-old also set a new Olympic record, lifting 210kg to completely blow her opponents out of the water.

India's Chanu Saikhom Mirabai and Windy Cantika Aisah of Indonesia finished behind Lijun to win silver and bronze respectively.

South Korea win gold in archery

South Korea have once again asserted their dominance in Olympic archery. The mixed doubles final was an entertaining feat – An San and her partner Kim Je Deok went 2-0 behind to the Netherlands early on, but pulled it back to secure a 5-3 win to earn the gold medal.

The Dutch will take home silver while Mexico earned bronze earlier today after beating Turkey.

Boxing Round of 32 commences

The first round of the women's boxing tournament kicked off this morning as the Kokugikan Arena hosted the first preliminary rounds.

Meanwhile, Poland's Saadat Dalgatova breezed to a dominant win over Saadat Dalgatova. The Uzbekistan international fell 5-0 in the opening round of the tournament.
