In a surprising turn of events, rapper and entertainer Snoop Dogg almost broke the world record in the 200-meter dash at the U.S. Olympic Team track and field trials held in Eugen, Oregon. Participating in an unofficial trial race, Snoop faced off against seasoned athletes Ato Bolden and Wallace Spearmon, but fell just short of victory.

The race, although not an official competition, showcased Snoop's impressive speed as he ran alongside Olympic medalist Ato Bolden and track and field specialist Wallace Spearmon. While Spearmon emerged as the winner, followed closely by Bolden in second place, it was Snoop's remarkable performance that captured attention.

At 52 years old, Snoop clocked in at an impressive time of 34.44 seconds, humorously commenting, "Ain't bad for a 52-year-old." With his notable achievements, such as eight platinum albums and the world record for the largest gin and juice, Snoop's participation in the race added an exciting element to the event.

However, Snoop's involvement in the race had a greater purpose. It served as preparation for his upcoming role as a guest commentator at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, which are set to begin on July 26. Snoop will join the primetime show on NBC and Peacock, providing special reports, interviewing athletes, exploring landmarks in Paris, and connecting with their friends and families.

Snoop's selection as a commentator for the Olympics was based on his successful stint as a bonus commentator during the 2021 Tokyo games alongside Kevin Hart. His unique blend of humor and insight made him a popular choice among viewers.

To further showcase his versatility, after completing his own race, Snoop took on the role of commentator for the steeplechase event. Known for its challenging hurdles and water pit, the steeplechase added an entertaining twist to Snoop's commentary, generating electrifying moments for fans.

Snoop Dogg's participation in the U.S. Olympic Team track and field trials was a testament to his enduring charisma and talent. While falling short of breaking the world record, Snoop's presence brought excitement and anticipation for his role as a guest commentator at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Fans can expect an entertaining and insightful experience as Snoop takes on this new venture in the world of sports broadcasting.
