Snoop Dogg is gearing up to cover the 2024 Olympics next month, but he’s getting a head start, reporting live from the Olympic Track and Field Trials.
The Death Row Records boss is headed to Paris next month as a special correspondent for NBC and Peacock after his coverage of the 2020 Olympics with Kevin Hart provided some memorable moments.
On Sunday (June 23), Snoop Dogg reported live from the Olympic Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field, Oregon. While the men’s 100-meter final was the main event, Snoop Dogg had all eyes on the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase after going viral with his unique commentary.
“What we bout to see right now,” Snoop Dogg said as the athletes began the race. “They bout to get to dipping, ripping, riding, slipping and hopefully not sliding.”
He added some hilarious sound effects as the runners jumped over the “tippy top” of the obstacles. “Oh, they coming behind him seven, eight deep like horses. I love it,” he added.

Snoop Dogg Excited To Meet Crip-Walking Horse
Snoop Dogg will head off to Paris next month, where he’ll meet the “crip-walking” horse from his viral commentary from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He told Jimmy Fallon how much he’s looking forward to seeing the horse in action during an appearance on The Tonight Show last month.
“I’m going to meet the horse in real life,” Snoop Dogg revealed. “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.”
