On the morning of the 21st, Beijing time, the first match between the Japanese women’s softball and the Australian women’s softball in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Agatsuma Baseball Stadium in Fukushima City, Japan. In the end, the Japanese team defeated their opponents by a score of 8:1 and got a good start.

The current Tokyo Olympics is based on the concept of “rebuilding the Olympics”, making Fukushima, which was hit hard by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the stage for the “opening battle” of all Olympic events. According to relevant anti-epidemic measures, the game will be held in an empty field without spectators.

This is the first time softball has returned to the Olympic arena after 13 years. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Japanese women’s softball team defeated the US team, which had won three consecutive championships 3-1, and won the first Olympic gold medal in one fell swoop. In this Olympics home game, the Japanese team is striving to continue its brilliance.

According to the latest world rankings, the Japanese team ranked second and the Australian team ranked eighth. Japan has played against Australia eight times in the past Olympics, with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. In the end, the Japanese team only took 5 games to win the Australian team 8:1 and got a good start.
