When to watch skateboarding during the 2024 Paris Olympics
In Paris, skateboarding will drop in for another appearance at an Olympic Games. The world’s best riders will compete in two disciplines: street and park. Street skaters open things up on the ramps and rails on Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28, while park riders get their chance to thrill the crowd in midweek sessions on Tuesday, August 6 and Wednesday, August 7.
Venue
Skateboarders share the stage at the Place de La Concorde with other urban sport events at Paris 2024 including BMX freestyle, basketball 3×3 and the first-ever Olympic appearance of breaking. La Concorde links the Champs-Élysées to the Tuileries Gardens, where the competition will juxtapose Parisian heritage with progressive athleticism.
