Snoop Dogg’s distinctive commentary on the men’s steeplechase at the Olympic Track and Field Trials is gaining widespread attention online. The rapper and entertainer is gearing up to cover the 2024 Olympics next month, getting a head start by reporting live from the Olympic Track and Field Trials. Snoop Dogg is set to head to Paris next month as a special correspondent for NBC and Peacock, following his memorable coverage of the 2000 Olympics with Kevin Hart.
On Sunday, June 23, Snoop Dogg was live from the Olympic Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field, Oregon. While the men’s 100-meter final was the main event, Snoop Dogg stole the show with his commentary on the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, which quickly went viral.
“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 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.
Social media users couldn’t get enough of Snoop’s amusing report, with many praising the network for their choice of commentator.
“I NEED Snoop Dogg to be the official #ParisOlympics steeplechase correspondent!” one person wrote. “Snoop would in fact be the person who could help me understand steeplechase,” added another.
