The 2021 Tokyo Olympics have finally arrived, but not without a few obvious COVID-related hiccups that led to no fans allowed at the games and athletes having to put on their own medals. Nonetheless, the Opening Ceremonies kicked off on Friday, July 23 with Naomi Osaka, who will be representing Japan, lighting the cauldron. This year’s Olympic Games include 339 medal events across 33 sports, and Vulture has the breakdown of when it’s all happening. Check out our daily list of the major events throughout the 16-day competition — which officially ends on August 8. (All events are listed in Eastern Time.)
