The Olympics are officially underway after a memorable opening ceremony Friday in Paris.

Saturday's events were headlined by gymnastics, swimming, beach volleyball and tennis. Men's basketball has also begun, though Team USA doesn't compete until Sunday.

Katie Ledecky's quest for her 11th Olympic gold medal began Saturday in the 400m freestyle, where she competed against Australian rival Ariarne Titmus, the reigning gold medalist. Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal began their doubles journey at Roland Garros, while Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula did the same on the women's side.
