The Summer Olympics are finally here after a one-year postponement of the event caused by the coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday, women's soccer matches and softball games were taking place in Tokyo.
While the competition has begun, it may not feel like the Olympics have truly started yet. That's because the opening ceremony doesn't take place until Friday, when the participating nations will come together and officially get things started at the Olympic Stadium.
The opening ceremony will air live Friday at 6:55 a.m. ET on NBC. For those who are unable to watch, it will be rebroadcasted that night at 7:30 p.
