Snoop Dogg made a fun appearance at the United States’ team trials for the 2024 Summer Olympics, where he participated in a mock 200m race. The rapper was up against four-time Olympic medalist Ato Bolden and 200m specialist Wallace Spearmon, both seasoned athletes. Snoop, decked out in a t-shirt featuring late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, placed third with a timing of 34.44 seconds, while Bolden clocked in at 16.90. Despite the loss, the rapper remained proud of his accomplishment, declaring “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad.”
After the race, Snoop Dogg joined the commentary team for the steeplechase run broadcast, lending his unique perspective to the proceedings. Snoop also boasted about his respectable performance by sharing a clip of his run on Twitter. The rapper has a newfound connection to the Olympic Games, having debuted as a correspondent alongside Kevin Hart during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. For the 2024 Olympics, Snoop will be reporting for the games’ primetime show starting July 26 on NBC and Peacock.
This year’s Olympic primetime show will feature Snoop Dogg as a correspondent and fans are excited to see what the rapper brings to the table.

Even if he’s not competing in the traditional sense, his presence is a welcome addition to any Olympic event. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Snoop and his Olympic Games aspirations
