A storm off Japan's east coast remained a threat to the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday, despite not battering the host city with devastating winds and rain as initially feared.

Wind and rain sweeping Tokyo Bay delayed the start of the women's triathlon early in the morning, before Flora Duffy snagged Bermuda’s first-ever Olympic gold medal.

The bronze-medal softball game was set to go ahead in the afternoon in Yokohama, under steady drizzle and the strongest gusts of the tournament. The gold-medal game between Japan and the United States was scheduled for 8 p.m. with clouds and intermittent rain forecast through the day.
