The Paris Olympics faced disruptions on its first full day of medal events due to heavy rain, which affected competitions and the opening ceremony. China secured the first gold medal in the mixed team 10-metre air rifle event, while Australia celebrated its first gold in cycling. The men's street skateboarding competition was postponed until Monday because of the weather, and tennis matches at Roland Garros were delayed, with only two outdoor courts operational. The opening ceremony, which showcased around 7,000 athletes along the Seine, received mixed reviews and was marred by a significant gaffe where South Korean athletes were incorrectly introduced as North Korean. Additionally, some critics, including a Catholic Bishop, expressed discontent over the ceremony's portrayal of Christian themes. The International Olympic Committee has since apologized for the mistake during the event.
