Before the Paris Olympics, not only did sportsmen make headlines, but celebrities too, like Snoop Dogg. The American rapper will not only be a member of NBC’s coverage crew for the prestigious event, but he will also be the torchbearer at the opening ceremony.
However, because he is from the United States, the 52-year-old met notable track athletes from Team USA and shared some words of motivation before competing at the Stade de France, as seen on USATF’s official Instagram page.
The American rapper wore an Olympic sweatshirt with the United States flag on his arms. The footage shows him hugging Kyree King and conversing on the field with Kenny Bednarek. The following frame displays him speaking with Noah Lyles, and then sharing a hug with Fred Kerley.
