TOKYO, Japan (WCTV) - After a 364 day delay, competition in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games began Tuesday night for those of us still stateside, with the opening of the softball and women’s soccer competitions.

Athletes with local ties to the area competed all evening long. Here’s how they performed:
