Snoop Dogg Earns His Olympic Stripes With 200-Meter Sprint

Snoop Dogg prepped for his role as guest commentator at the 2024 Olympics by appearing at the Team USA track and field trials and running a 200m race.

Snoop Dogg came within seconds — technically, 15.25 of them — of breaking the world record in the 200-meter dash after popping up to run the race at the U.S. Olympic Team track and field trials over the weekend in Eugen, Oregon. Snoop had some stiff competition in the extremely unofficial trial race, running alongside four-time Olympic medalist Ato Bolden (who won bronze in the 200m at the 1996 and 2000 games) and Wallace Spearmon (a 200m specialist with several medals from the track and field World Championships). Snoop earned the gig after an extremely successful stint providing bonus commentary on the 2021 Tokyo games alongside Kevin Hart.
