Watch Snoop Dogg Run the 200m Race at the 2024 Summer Olympic Trials
Snoop Dogg, the legendary rapper and entertainer, continues to surprise fans by venturing into unexpected arenas. Over the weekend, he ticked off another bucket list item by participating in the 200m trial run at the 2024 Summer Olympic Trials held in Oregon. This event marked a unique crossover as Snoop was also serving as a guest commentator for NBC at the trials.
Sporting a Team USA shirt in honor of the late Kobe Bryant and a pair of American flag-themed pants, Snoop laced up his Nike running shoes and took to the track alongside former Olympic sprinters Ato Boldon and Wallace Spearmon. Despite his enthusiasm and unmistakable style, Snoop’s competitive aspirations quickly met reality as he lagged behind the seasoned athletes, finishing the race in a distant third place with a time of 34.44 seconds. To put this in perspective, the 2020 Olympic gold medalist completed the 200m in a blazing 19.62 seconds.
However, Snoop Dogg remained positive and spirited, applauding himself and noting, “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad.” His sense of humor and resilience shone through as he caught his breath and transitioned back to his role as a commentator.
During the broadcast, Snoop brought his signature wit and humor to the commentary box, particularly during the steeplechase event. He marveled at the athletes’ abilities, 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.” His reactions and commentary added a fresh and entertaining perspective to the coverage, resonating well with viewers.
Fans took to social media to express their delight, with one tweet declaring, “NEED THIS IN THE OLYMPICS,” and another affirming, “Snoop gonna always be an icon.” The positive feedback suggests that Snoop’s engaging personality and unique insights are a hit with the audience.
Looking ahead, Snoop Dogg is set to be a significant presence at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. He will be part of the coverage team, providing regular reports on the Olympic Primetime Show starting July 26. His involvement promises to bring an extra layer of entertainment and relatability to the Olympic coverage, ensuring that fans have plenty to look forward to.
