Chinese badminton player He Bingjiao laughed when she was asked if she thought the opening ceremony had been beautiful, saying she did not make it because of the weather. "The risk factor becomes too high when skateboarding in the rain," a spokesperson for World Skate said after Saturday's competition was rescheduled to Monday because La Concorde, the outdoor venue where it was supposed to take place, was drenched.
Play began on time under the Court Philippe Chatrier roof and across the complex on Court Suzanne Lenglen. But play on the uncovered courts was delayed. "I think we'd like some sun for our families who are here to watch, that would be nice. I think they're happy either way, but I'm sure it's not what they imagined."
Athletes tend to hesitate to take part in a Games' opening ceremony, fearing it could disrupt their preparation.
