"Snoop doing all the side quests" — Fans react as Snoop Dogg clocks an impressive 34.44 seconds at trial Olympics 200m race

Snoop Dogg ran a 200-meter exhibition race, a special addition to the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, and social media went crazy. On Sunday, June 23, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., known professionally as Snoop Dogg, took to the starting line in Eugene, Oregon, facing stiff competition from two-time NCAA outdoor champion Wallace Spearmon Jr. and four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon.

Snoop sported some Nike kicks and an American flag-themed outfit, with his shirt paying tribute to the late great Kobe Bryant. Although the Dogfather finished a distant third behind his fellow competitors, he still managed to clock an impressive time of 34.44 seconds. Spearmon finished first, while Boldon came in second. After catching his breath, the rapper posed with his timing and exclaimed:

"34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad."

Snoop also posted a clip from his run on Instagram and captioned his post:

"First time want be my last time to get a better time 🐾🙌🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸 ⏰."

Reacting to the same, people exclaimed how the rapper was living his best life, with some even claiming that he was the new Betty White as everybody loved him. Netizens talked about how Snoop was doing side quests now that he'd already conquered hip-hop.

Snoop Dogg fans were impressed by the rapper's timing. One user even suggested that the rapper should carry the United States flag at the Olympics. Here are a few Instagram reactions to Snoop Dogg's already iconic 200-meter run:
