Day 4 of the #Tokyo2020 Olympics is over. Here's what the action looked like, from New York Times photographers. nyti.ms/2ULQFT7
Naomi Osaka had an early, surprise exit from the Olympics after breezing through her first two matches. The Japanese tennis star lost to Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic in barely over one hour. nyti.ms/2ULQFT7
Simone Biles withdrew from the women’s gymnastics team final after faltering on her vault — her first apparatus of the day. She said she withdrew because she wasn’t in a good place mentally to compete after so much pressure to win. nyti.ms/2ULQFT7
Biles's absence dealt a blow to the U.S. score, while also boosting Russia. For Russia, the team gold came one night after the country’s men’s team won the same prize. nyti.ms/2ULQFT7
Japan defeated the U.S. in a 13-year softball rematch. The last time the two teams met in a final was in 2008, when softball was last an Olympic offering. Japan won then, too. nyti.ms/2ULQFT7
In an upset, Ryan Murphy of the U.S. settled for bronze in the men’s 100-meter backstroke. American men had not lost in the event since 1992, and Murphy was the 2016 gold medalist. nyti.ms/2ULQFT7
