BBC World Service - BBC OS, Tokyo Olympics: Games under way after opening ceremony

We get reaction to the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics is under way, with the opening ceremony taking place on Friday. So what can we expect from the games? Our expert answers audience questions and we get reaction to the opening ceremony from people in Japan.

Also, we speak to two Olympians about how they are feeling ahead of the games. Liberian sprinter Joseph Fahnbulleh and Australian equestrian Mary Hanna will both be competing in Tokyo.

And we go through the latest coronavirus stories with Marc Mendelson, who is Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Cape Town.
