Why skateboarding was postponed Saturday – NBC Chicago

Saturday marks the first full day of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, with numerous events taking place throughout the day in France as competition, and in some cases, medaling, gets underway.

While everything from swimming and men’s gymnastics to cycling time trials, water polo and table tennis were in store on Saturday, one event that was scheduled to begin has been held off due to continued rain in the area.

The preliminary round for Men’s Street in skateboarding is scheduled to air digitally on Peacock at 5 am CT on Monday.

While the men won’t start until Monday, women’s skateboarders begin on Sunday, with Women’s Street preliminary round airing at 5 am CT before the Women’s Street final, scheduled to air at 10 am
