While the Opening Ceremony isn't until Friday, the events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are officially underway.
Australia was part of the first action this tournament, taking on hosts Japan in softball: the first time we've seen the sport at the Games since 2008.
Unfortunately, they went down 8-1, but they'll have an opportunity to bounce back on Thursday against Italy.
With 488 Australian athletes, there are set to be a lot of Aussie hopes in action on every day of the Games.
It can be tough to sort through all the websites to see which big events and Aussie legends are happening each day. We've got you covered.
This page will be your home to keep you up to date with what is happening on each day of the Games.
Plus, you'll even be able to keep up to date with which Aussies are in action as it happens.
