Snoop Dogg has run a 200m race at the United States’ team trials for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The race was a mock trial, with Snoop joining the run for fun. For the mock race, Snoop Dogg was up against four-time Olympic medalist Ato Bolden and 200 meter specialist Wallace Spearmon.
Decked out in a t-shirt featuring late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, Snoop placed third, clocking a timing of 34.44 seconds, while Bolden clocked in at 16.90. After the run, the rapper said while panting: “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad.”

@nbcolympics Snoop Dogg had to check out his speed at Hayward Field during TrackFieldTrials24!
Once he had recovered his breath, Snoop Dogg joined the commentary team to lend his voice to the steeplechase run broadcast: “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.”
As for the 2024 Olympics, Snoop will be reporting for the games’ primetime show starting July 26 on NBC and Peacock. The rapper debuted as a correspondent alongside Kevin Hart during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and went viral for his reaction to a horse he saw “crip-walking” during the Equestrian event.
“Oh the horse crip-walking, you see that? On the set! That’s gangster. This horse is off the chain, I gotta get this motherfucker in a video,” Snoop said in the 2021 viral video.
The rapper has since told Jimmy Fallon that he’ll be meeting the horse later this year: “I’m going to meet the horse in real life. He’s the returning champ. So I got to go meet him — you know what I’m saying? — and let him know I’m a big fan.”
