That's all from the opening day of athletics

The Indian contingent will be disappointed as they were knocked from all four events in the heats itself.

Overall, it was an exciting start to the athletics campaign at the Tokyo Olympics.

Elaine Thompson-Herah and Marie-Josee Ta Lou stole the headlines in the morning sessions in the women's 100m heats with their impressive timings.

While in the evening session we had our first champion, in the form of Selemon Barega from Ethiopia in the men's 10,000m.

Thank you very much for joining in and do tune in tomorrow for the live coverage, as we're just getting started with athletics at the Tokyo Olympics.
