Snoop Dogg's 200M U.S. Olympic Trials 200M Exhibition Race 'Ain’t Bad’ For A ‘52-Year-Old’
West coast rapper Snoop Dogg didn't let MaryJane stop him from burning the track.
Dressed in Team U.S.A.'s All-American red, white, and blue, bearing the face of late NBA champ Kobe Bryant, the 52-year-old competed in a 200-meter exhibition race.
The rapper ran against Olympic medalist Ato Boldmon from Trinidad and two-time NCAA outdoor 200m champion Wallace Spearmon. Despite finishing last, he ranked in at a respectable 34.44 seconds.
"34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain't bad," the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper said before proudly posing next to his name and time placement.

The 17-time Grammy award-winner was seen taking his place in line before taking off running between his two competitors. He appeared to glide smoothly before his face winced, indicating he may have begun to feel the burn approaching the finish line.
"Snoop Dogg had to check out his speed at Hayward Field during #TrackFieldTrials24! [flame emoji]," NBC Olympics & Paralympics penned in the caption of their post on Twitter, now known as X.
Fans gave an overwhelmingly positive response in the comment section, saying: "Some days I can't even get up out of my chair in 34.4 seconds...lol props to you @SnoopDogg."

"I wish that he could be the guest commentator, at least once, for every Olympic sport. He is so funny and never fails to make me laugh," a second fan wrote regarding Snoop's multi-faceted background in entertainment.
'NBC Sports' exclaimed that Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., gave "electric" commentary for the Steeplechase, saying his input was "the content we never knew we needed."
