The event was originally pencilled in to take place today.
However, the rain which also blighted the opening ceremony has now claimed it’s first victim at the Paris Games.
World Skate put out a statement announcing the news.
It said: “Due to adverse overnight weather conditions and following a meeting this morning with all relevant organisers, the decision has been taken to postpone Men’s Street Skateboarding at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games until Monday 29th of July.”
The rescheduled event will see the preliminary rounds start at 11am BST.
Meanwhile, the final will then happen at the later date of 4pm.
