The men’s street skateboarding competition at the Paris Olympics has been postponed until July 29, organizers announced in a statement on Saturday. The competition, originally scheduled for Saturday, was rescheduled due to unfavorable weather conditions. Persistent rain overnight and into Saturday morning created unsafe conditions for the skateboarders, prompting the postponement.
While organizers did not explicitly state the reason for the rescheduling, the heavy rainfall likely played a significant role in the decision. The postponement allows for safer conditions and ensures the competition can be held with optimal performance from the athletes.
