Australia's women's softball team became the first international athletes to arrive in Japan for the Olympics when they flew into Tokyo.

The team will attend a training camp in the city of Ota before moving to the Athletes' Village in Tokyo on 17th July.

All members of the delegation have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and will be tested for the virus every day.

The Games are scheduled to begin on 23 July despite Japan battling a surge in coronavirus cases.
