Olympics-Skateboarding-First day of skateboarding competition postponed amid bad weather

PARIS (Reuters) – The men’s street skateboarding competition at the Paris Olympics was postponed on Saturday, organisers said in a statement.

The day’s competition has been rescheduled to July 29.

Organisers did not immediately give a reason for the rescheduling, which was likely due to persistent rain overnight and on Saturday morning, making conditions unsafe for skateboarders.
