This year, the folks over at NBC Sports made a pretty exciting announcement. They revealed that the legendary Snoop Dogg would be joining their team as a commentator for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. But before he officially takes on his new role in July, the "Gin & Juice" rapper had a little fun at the U.S. Olympic Team track and field trials over the weekend in Eugene, Oregon. And let's just say, he didn't hold back.
According to Rolling Stone, Snoop D-O Double G decided to join in on the action and participate in a 200-meter race at the Olympic trials on June 23. And he didn't just go up against any regular runners. No, no. He went up against some seasoned professionals, including four-time Olympic medalist Ato Bolden and multiple medal winner Wallace Spearmon. Talk about some tough competition.
Now, we all know that Snoop is a big fan of cannabis. But that didn't stop him from giving it his all on the track. And while he may not have come in first place, he still put up a pretty impressive time of 34.44 seconds. In fact, he was pretty proud of himself. "34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain't bad," he said after the race.
But it wasn't just about the race for Snoop. He was also excited to check out the speed at Hayward Field during #TrackFieldTrials24. And he even shared a video of his experience on Twitter, proving that he's not afraid to show off his skills on the track.
Now, let's fast forward to the actual Olympic Games in Paris. Snoop will be teaming up with NBC Olympic host Mike Tirico when the network airs the event from July 26 to Aug. 11. And it's safe to say that Snoop is beyond thrilled to be a part of such a prestigious event. "I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris," he said in a statement. "It's a celebration of skill, dedication, and the pursuit of greatness."
And of course, Snoop wouldn't be Snoop without adding a little bit of his own style to the mix. "We’re going to have some amazing competitions, and, of course, I will be bringing that Snoop style to the mix," he shared. "It's going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned and keep it locked. Let’s elevate, celebrate, and make these games unforgettable, smoke the competition, and may the best shine like gold. Peace and Olympic LOVE, ya dig?"
Needless to say, we can't wait to see what Snoop brings to the table during the Olympic Games Paris 2024. It's going to be one for the books. And in the meantime, we'll just have to keep ourselves entertained by following his adventures on social media, like his wife's new venture, "The Players Club" in Downtown Los Angeles. Stay tuned, folks! It's going to be one epic journey.
