Snoop Dogg is used to recording tracks, not racing on them. But that didn鈥檛 stop the legendary rapper from putting on quite the show at the U.S. Olympic athletics trials in Eugene, Oregon on Monday.

Donning a tracksuit in the colours of the American flag and a Team USA shirt that paid respect to the late NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant, Snoop Dogg laced up for a 200-metre exhibition race against Trinidadian former Olympic medalist Ato Boldon and two-time NCAA outdoor 200m champion Wallace Spearmon.

Snoop was unsurprisingly smoked by his competition in the exhibition race at Hayward Field, finishing a distant third, but he still posted a very respectable time of 34.44 seconds.

Trackside for NBC鈥檚 coverage of the men鈥檚 3000m steeplechase, Snoop : 鈥淲hat we鈥檙e about to see right now is they鈥檙e about to get to dipping, gripping, riding, slipping and hopefully not sliding.鈥

The steeplechase is an event where runners are able to leap off the top of the hurdles, which initially seemed to catch Snoop off guard.

鈥淥h he鈥檚 jumping on top of the hurdle,鈥 Snoop said in disbelief. 鈥淵ou can do that?! That was a cold trick right there. I like that one. Went off the tippy-top.鈥

On its X account, NBC described Snoop鈥檚 commentary as and 鈥渢he content we never knew we needed.鈥

The U.S. trials are well underway, with big names such as Sha鈥機arri Richardson and Noah Lyles already punching their ticket to this summer鈥檚 Games.
