It's been a rather wet opening to the Games...
The men’s skateboarding has been rescheduled to Monday The Paris Olympics have been forced to postpone the men’s skateboarding on day one of the Games due to adverse weather conditions. The skateboarding action had been due to begin this morning, with the men’s street preliminaries and men’s street final originally scheduled to take place across the day at the Place de la Concorde in the French capital.
It means there are now only 13 gold medals up for grabs on the opening day and Games organisers are expected to issue an update on the rescheduling in the coming hours. ‘Due to adverse overnight weather conditions and following a meeting this morning with all relevant organisers, the decision has been taken to postpone men’s street skateboarding at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games until Monday 29th of July,’ a World Skate statement read.
