The renowned rapper Snoop Dogg has become one of the non-athlete stars of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Starting with carrying the Olympic torch, the artist has had several standout moments at the sporting event.
The cannabis entrepreneur is not only in Paris because he is a fan or enthusiast of sports, but also because he is a special correspondent for the NBC television network. As part of his coverage, he has challenged Michael Phelps to a swimming competition and trained with the American weightlifting team.
How did Snoop Dogg stand out this Saturday at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
The 52-year-old man attended the Olympic team dressage final with great style. Dogg wore a helmet, gloves, a black jacket adorned with an S-shaped brooch, a white shirt, and sunglasses. The Californian star was among the 15,000 spectators enjoying the final in the majestic setting of Versailles.
Last Saturday, the artist cheered on Meghan, the wife of Caeleb Dressel, from the stands when the swimmer won the gold medal in the men's 4x100 meters freestyle relay. He was also seen on television hosting the badminton competition.
The rapper's presence at different events of the Games has generated a lot of excitement as they continue to progress. He was already seen at the Arena Campo de Marte watching the judo trials, at the Bercy Arena following the gymnastics, and at La Concordia witnessing the 3x3 basketball and skateboarding.
On his social media, he has shared moments of his interaction with athletes, and among other highlighted moments is the exchange of a customized pin for the occasion, which shows him exhaling Olympic rings of smoke.
Snoop Dogg also had a significant role in carrying the Olympic torch on July 26th in Saint Denis, a town located in the northern outskirts of Paris, near the Stade de France. This participation took place a few hours before the opening ceremony on the Seine, marking a very special moment in his relationship with the Olympic Games.
