Remember when Jamaica had a bobsled team?

In similar fashion, against all odds, Israel have a baseball team at Tokyo 2020.

Not only is this their Olympic baseball debut, but it is also the first time since their men's football side played at the 1976 Games that Israel are competing in an Olympic team sport.

They face defending champions South Korea at the Yokohama Baseball Stadium at 11:00 BST.

Britain's Paul Casey says he feels an "immense sense of responsibility" to win a medal after starting his Olympic debut with a four-under-par 67.

Casey, 44, is four shots behind first-round leader Sepp Straka, who is a shot clear of Thailand's Jazz Janewattananond in second place.

"I've got to try and deliver as much as I can," said Casey.

"There are other sports which are the traditional - as we would say - Olympic sports we are used to watching, and we are not under the spotlight. But I feel there is an immense sense of responsibility."

Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy posted a two-under 69, as did Open champion Collin Morikawa, while Team GB's Tommy Fleetwood and Ireland's Shane Lowry finished one-under.

New Zealand's flier Michaela Blyde slices down the wing to score two quickfire tries and put some heat under a Great Britain side who were threatening to run away with the match.

Half-time oranges...

Yet another score for GB!

This is against a team that so many people have seen as frontline contenders for the gold medal.

New Zealand are on for a hiding here.

This is a phenomenal start - look at Abbie Brown, she's loving it out there!

Emma Uren with a third try for Great Britain. Dreamland! And an absolute nightmare start from the Black Ferns, who have made a string of errors.

You don't want to give your opponent the ability to think - high shots to the back of the court give your opponent options so you want to be quick and keep your opponent on their toes.

Sometimes when you're patient you go slower, Toby Penty is trying to be patient and consistent but he needs to speed up a bit.

Another!

That's one error from New Zealand and one score for Great Britain

That is a fantastic start for the GB women!

Helena Rowland, brought in from the England 15-a-side set-up, bumps through two New Zealand tackers after Ruby Tui's spill had turned over possession.

It's a case of double Dutch for Team GB in the hockey today.

Defending champions Great Britain face the 2016 Rio runners-up Netherlands in the women's tournament at 11:00.

Earlier, GB's men's qualified for the quarter-finals after a thrilling late fightback to draw 2-2 with the Dutch.

Great Britain are up against tournament favourites New Zealand in their second pool-stage game.

New Zealand won silver at Rio 2016, but have only got stronger since then. Look out for Portia Woodman who is swift with a vicious step.

Great Britain finished fourth at Rio.

Not the start Toby Penty will have been wanting to this last-16 match.

World number three Anders Antonsen takes the first set 21-10.

While some athletes are waiting in Tokyo to begin their Olympic campaigns, others are home already.

We only have one person left in the badminton, Toby Penty in the men's singles, which is probably not what we expected. At the start of the competition I would've said our best medal chances were Lauren Smith and Marcus Ellis in the mixed doubles. When they lost I thought that was it and we weren't going to win anything.

But then Penty won his group, a great surprise, he beat a Thai player who was seeded and is now in the last 16.

Toby's a lovely person. I've seen him go through the junior ranks and he's just a steady person who goes out and performs the best he can every single time. One of those people you love having in the team. He's had a really rubbish few years, he got diagnosed with alopecia in 2018 so he's had some struggles, and also trying to qualify for the Olympics and in the middle of a pandemic.

If anyone deserves to go out and have a fantastic Olympics it's him, he really deserves it.

Britain's Toby Penty is in last-16 action against Denmark's Anders Antonsen.

Penty is making his Olympic debut in Tokyo, after a rollercoaster few years - in 2019, he was diagnosed with alopecia.

He is now the last Brit standing in the badminton and hopes to book a quarter-final spot.

Britain's Emma Wilson has guaranteed at least a bronze medal in windsurfing.

The 22-year-old, who is the daughter of former Olympic windsurfer Penny Way, has won four of her 12 races this week to place her second overall heading into Saturday's points race.

Wilson's 34 points puts her out of reach of fourth place and firmly in contention for a gold medal.

She is four points behind Chinese sailor Lu Yunxiu.
