Snoop Dogg has been added in the Paris 2024 torchbearer to that list. He carried the Olympic flame in an area next to the State de France stadium in the northern Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis.
Earlier in an interview this week, the multihyphenate expressed gratitude toward the U.S. and France for the opportunity. He said, ‘I look at this as a prestigious honor and something I truly respect. I would have never dreamed of nothing like this’.
Snoop further added, ‘I am going to be on my best behavior. I am going to be on my best athleticism. I will be able to breathe slow to walk fast and hold the torch with a smile on my face, because I realize how prestigious this event is’.
Snoop Dogg is in Paris to help cover the Games for NBC, part of the U.S. broadcaster’s bet to boost ratings by infusing coverage with pop culture.
Meanwhile, the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris was seen decorated with the five Olympic rings as the multi-sport officially starts from Friday with amazing opening ceremony. The Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony will kickstart at 11:00 PM IST and will be live-streamed and telecast in India as well.
As per Olympics.com, in a first, the opening ceremony will not be conducted inside a stadium. The traditional Parade of Nations will be taking place along the river Seine, flowing through the heart of Paris.
