In an unexpected turn of events, renowned rapper and entertainer, Snoop Dogg, made waves at the 2024 Summer Olympics trial run in Oregon over the weekend. Not only did he participate in the 200m race, but he also showcased his hilarious commentary skills as a guest commentator for NBC.
Despite putting in his best effort, Snoop Dogg finished the 200m race in a distant third place with a time of 34.44 seconds. It was clear that his competition left him in the dust, considering the 2020 Olympic gold medalist had clocked in at an impressive 19.62 seconds.
However, Snoop quickly bounced back from his race disappointment and lent his unique and humorous perspective to the steeplechase run during the broadcast. Amazed by the athletes' ability to effortlessly clear the hurdles, Snoop shared his astonishment, exclaiming, "Oh, he's jumping on top of the hurdle. You can do that?! That was a cold trick right there. I like that one. Went off the tippy-top."
Fans thoroughly enjoyed Snoop Dogg's commentary, expressing their desire to hear more of him during the Olympics. One Twitter user wrote, "NEED THIS IN THE OLYMPICS," while another hailed Snoop as an icon, stating, "Snoop gonna always be an icon."
Excitingly, Snoop Dogg's involvement in the Olympics is far from over. He is set to join the coverage team for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Starting on July 26, the Los Angeles native will deliver "regular reports" as part of the Olympic Primetime Show.
