Snoop Dogg will carry the flame across the last stretch of Paris in the Olympic torch relay, ahead of the opening ceremony on Friday, July 26, bringing his trademark swagger with him. The fans are hoping that the rapper, who is supposed to hold the flame aloft in Saint-Denis to commemorate the 33rd game, can keep it lit without dropping it like it’s hot!
The 2024 Paris Olympics are just two days away, with final preparations in full swing, and Mathieu Hanotin, Mayor of Saint-Denis, posted on X (formerly Twitter) about the the iconic rapper carrying the Olympic torch through the streets of this Paris suburb, which also houses the Stade de France Olympic Stadium
In a post on X, Snoop Dogg himself dropped hints about the reveal by posting a picture of himself arriving in Paris with the message, “U ready? Paris 2024 Olympics ya diggg”.

Snoop, who was born in Los Angeles, which hosted the 1932, 1984, and will be hosting 2028 Games, warmed up for his Olympic debut by running 34.44 seconds over 200 metres in a special exhibition race in the US trials in Oregon last month.
The opening ceremony will take place on Friday night on the River Seine, with athletes parading in boats.
The 68th stage of the torch relay will take it through the Olympic Village, past the Aquatics Centre, and the Stade de France before arriving on the banks of the Seine.
