JJ Chalmers presents all the action as the 2020 Olympics finally get under way, with the first medals presented, and early British interest in a multitude of events.

We’ll see the beginning of the men’s cycling road race, while in rowing, it’s the heats of the men’s coxless four, with Britain hoping for a sixth consecutive gold in the event, and Helen Glover and Polly Swann in the women's pair.

And the first gold medal of the games will go to the winner of the women’s 10m air rifle.
