TOKYO First lady Jill Biden watched the U.S. women’s game against France in the 3-on-3 basketball tournament Saturday at the Tokyo Olympics. Upon her arrival at Aomi Urban Sports Park, Biden greeted French President Emmanuel Macron.
With no fans allowed in the basketball venue, there were plenty of empty seats surrounding Biden, Macron and their security details. Biden wore a Ralph Lauren blue blazer – the same style Team USA athletes wore at the opening ceremony – and a blue T-shirt with a U.S. flag despite the heat and humidity. She saw the U.S. women open 3x3 tournament play with a 17-10 victory against France.

Creating an Olympic soundscape at a fan-free Tokyo Games Today 05:00 am JST Today | 05:53 am JST TOKYO
Nuno Duarte claps in Tokyo s Aomi Urban Sports Park and the sound echoes around the empty stadium, which will host Olympic sport climbers and 3x3 basketball players but no spectators. It s very strange for the athletes. They are not used to this, said Duarte, senior audio manager at Olympic Broadcast Services which has created an immersive soundscape for the virus-postponed Games.
While the stands will be empty at Olympic venues in Tokyo, ambient crowd sounds customized for each sport are meant to stop arenas feeling like atmosphere-free shells.
