The delay of Olympic skateboarding is attributed to Paris's increasing weather.

One Olympic event has already been postponed due to the weather in Paris.



The continued inclement weather at the Paris Olympics has forced a rescheduling of the men's street skating competition.


Heavy rain fell during the three and a half hour opening ceremony on the Seine River, which saw 85 vessels convey over 7,000 athletes from 205 countries.


The torrential downpour threatened to wreck the event, prompting the French Meteorological Agency to issue flood warnings for several areas of the city.

Before the big ceremony, there was football, handball, and rugby sevens, but the main events start on Saturday.

The skateboarding street men's competition has been rescheduled for Monday, July 29 instead of Saturday, July 27, for the preliminary and finals.
