The rain in Paris has caused a delay in the men's skateboarding competition, originally scheduled to begin at noon local time on Saturday. Due to the persistent rain that has been pouring down on Paris since the early morning of Saturday, the competition has been rescheduled to Monday, providing a safer and more suitable environment for the athletes to showcase their skills.

The decision to postpone the Men's Street skateboarding competition was made in consideration of the adverse weather forecasts that are projected to continue until late afternoon. The rain, which made a memorable appearance during Friday's Opening Ceremony by drenching competitors as they floated down the River Seine, has been a prominent feature of the event.

Competition rescheduled to Monday for safer conditions.
