Sport stretched out over Tokyo on Saturday as the Olympic Games finally got underway, but the shadow of Covid-19 and controversy was never far away on the opening day.

The Russian crumpled under pressure on her final shot, shooting 8.9, by far her worst shot of the day, and the worst score any of the finalists registered.

"I had mixed feelings, joy and bitterness at the same time. But now I am happy. I made a mistake. Nothing major. It will allow me to learn something, it's a lesson for the future." Later at the shooting, Jin Jong-oh missed his target of a record-extending fifth individual Olympic gold as the South Korean failed to qualify for the men's 10-metre pistol final.
