American rapper Snoop Dogg is all set to be the final torchbearer of the Olympic flame ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 2024 Games will kick off on July 26, 2024, with the much-awaited opening ceremony.

The 2024 Paris Olympics torch, which was unveiled by legendary sprinter Usain Bolt in 2023, commenced its journey on April 16, 2024, after it was lit in Olympia, Greece. The torch arrived in the hosting nation on May 8, 2024, when French rapper and singer Jul received the honor of lighting the Olympic cauldron.

The Olympic flame has traveled through approximately 500 cities before arriving at the opening ceremony to be hosted on coming Friday.

Also known as Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, Snoop Dogg will carry the Olympic torch in its last leg. The final leg of the torch relay in Paris will start from the streets of Saint-Denis, home to the Stade de France Olympic Stadium and the Olympic Village. The torch will pass by the canal that links Saint-Denis with Paris.

Further, the flame will take a remarkable route passing the Olympic Aquatic Center in Saint-Denis, constructed specifically for the aquatic events at the 2024 Games, including diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming events.

After concluding the designated journey, the torch will arrive at the fleet on the Seine River for the opening ceremony. Snoop Dogg will be joined by French rapper MC Solaar and actress Laetitia Casta.
