The first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics has been awarded on an action-packed day featuring swimming and tennis among other sports.
China's Yang Qian became the first athlete to stand atop the podium. She won gold for the women's 10-meter air rifle. Yang had to put the medal on herself. It's a new measure in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection.
Members of the refugee team have also been in action. Yusra Mardini from Syria is swimming in the women's 100-meter butterfly. This is her second Olympics, following a previous appearance in 2016.
Saturday also marks the Tokyo debut of Serbia's Novak Djokovic. The tennis superstar has won the year's first three grand slam events. A gold medal would keep his hopes of a so-called "Golden Slam" alive.
The spotlight will later be on Britain's Adam Peaty. The star swimmer took gold in 2016 in the men's 100-meter breaststroke.
Saturday also had the first shock of the Games. Japan's Uchimura Kohei crashed out of the qualifying stage in the men's horizontal bar. The three-time gold medalist is widely considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.
Saturday also features women's 3X3 basketball. The event is making its Olympic debut this summer.

A looming tropical storm has forced a change of schedule at the Tokyo Olympics. Organizers have moved up rowing events by one day to Sunday due to forecasts of bad weather.
The men's and women's single and double sculls' quarterfinals and semifinals are among those originally scheduled for Monday at the Sea Forest Waterway.
Sport association officials say these will now take place on Sunday, and there will be no races on Monday.
Bad weather is forecast for Japan with the approach of Tropical Storm Nepartak. It is expected to come close to northern to eastern Japan around Tuesday. Officials say they are still reviewing Tuesday's schedule.
This is the first time for events at the Games to be rescheduled due to weather.
Officials say no other sports are affected at present, but changes are possible depending on the course and strength of the storm.

Environment ministers from the Group of 20 nations have ended talks without an agreement on specific measures to combat climate change.
The ministers discussed efforts to achieve a carbon-neutral society in the Italian city of Naples on Friday.
Japan's Environment Minister Koizumi Shinjiro, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, environment ministers from Russia and China, and other delegates attended the meeting.
The discussions were seen as an important step ahead of United Nations climate talks, known as COP26, which take place in Britain in November.
The ministers disagreed on the appropriate pace of the transition from coal to clean energy for power generation. Many industrialized nations are trying to phase out coal from their power systems, while developing countries are opposed to do so.
The issue will now have to be discussed at a G20 summit in October.
Italy's Ecological Transition Minister Roberto Cingolani said at a news conference that negotiations with China, Russia and India had proved especially tough.
Cingolani said there had been differences with the three countries on accelerating efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. The goal was set in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change.

A Myanmar soccer player awaiting a decision on his asylum application in Japan will join a professional football club in Yokohama as a trainee.
Pyae Lyan Aung came to Japan in May as a goalkeeper of Myanmar's national team to play in a World Cup qualifier.
He flashed a three-finger salute before the match in a gesture of protest against Myanmar's military government. He remained in Japan after his team left, out of fear of persecution in his country and applied for refugee status.
Y.S.C.C Yokohama, a soccer club in Kanagawa Prefecture that belongs to the J3 League, invited him for practice earlier this month.
Learning that he is eager to continue playing soccer in Japan, the club decided on Friday to take him on as a trainee.
Pyae Lyan Aung has been granted a 6-month permit to live and work in Japan as part of the Japanese government's special arrangement for Myanmar nationals who wish to remain in Japan.
He is expected to move to Kanagawa from Osaka, where he is currently staying, to start practice.
A representative of Y.S.C.C Yokohama, Yoshino Jiro, says the goalkeeper fell short of signing a pro contract with the club, but there is a possibility that he will be able to do so depending on his performance.
