Snoop Dogg has shown off his physical fitness by running a 200-meter sprint during Team USA’s Summer Olympics track and field trials.
NBC, the broadcaster for the Olympics in the U.S., posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday (June 23) of Snoop showcasing his sprinting skills in Eugene, Oregon.

In the clip, the West Coast rap legend busts a lung as he completes the dash while rocking a red, white and blue stars and stripes outfit, including a Kobe Bryant shirt.
After racing past the finish line, Snoop reacted to his time and came away rather impressed: “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” he declared.

“I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris,” Snoop told the outlet. “It’s a celebration of skill, dedication and the pursuit of greatness. We’re going to have some amazing competitions and, of course, I will be bringing that Snoop style to the mix.”

He continued: “It’s going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked. Let’s elevate, celebrate and make these games unforgettable, smoke the competition, and may the best shine like gold. Peace and Olympic LOVE, ya dig?”
Though Snoop won’t be participating in the games, he’s been hitting the gym like he has something to prove.
Back in February, Tha Doggfather took to Instagram to share a photo of him rolling up his sleeve and proudly flexing his bicep while working out in an indoor basketball gym.
He captioned the post: “Staying strong [bicep flex emoji] @badabing33 [prayer hands emoji, two dove emojis].”
