Global icon Snoop Dogg is once again at the center of the Olympic spotlight. This time he’s posted up in Italy, as the countdown to the 2026 Winter Olympics reaches the final hours.
On Wednesday, Snoop Dogg carried the Olympic torch through the streets of Milan, marking one of the final ceremonial moments before the opening ceremony. The appearance continues Snoop’s growing relationship with the Games. Check it out below.
As you can see, it all follows his wildly popular stint as a special correspondent during the 2024 Summer Olympics. Snoop’s humor and genuine enthusiasm made him a fan favorite worldwide during the event.
For right now, Snoop’s day didn’t stop with the torch. The rapper-turned-Olympics personality made a visit to the Milano Ice Skating Arena, where he watched American figure skating phenom Ilia Malinin in action.
Known as the sport’s “Quad God,” Malinin earned high praise from Snoop, who jokingly awarded him a “perfect 10,” he proclaimed. “If I had five more hands, I’d be holding them up too,” Snoop told Olympics.com.
Snoop also got a literal bird’s-eye view of the rink, hopping aboard a Zamboni as the ice was resurfaced. Another moment that quickly went viral and added to his growing list of Olympic memories before this year’s iteration even begins.
Competition is about to officially begin at the Milan Games, and Snoop seemed to be everywhere. Now officially dubbed “Coach Snoop,” he was announced in December as Team USA’s first-ever honorary coach by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee.
