The 52-year-old "Gin and Juice" rapper ran against four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon and two-time NCAA outdoor champion Wallace Spearmon.
West Coast legend Snoop Dogg stepped on a new type of track.
Snoop, 52, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, ran against four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon, 50, and two-time NCAA outdoor champion Wallace Spearmon Jr., 39, on Sunday at the Olympic Track & Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon, according to multiple reports.
Sporting an American flag-inspired outfit with a top that displayed the face of the late Lakers star Kobe Bryant, the “Gin and Juice” rapper came in third in the 200-meter race, at 34.44 seconds.
Meanwhile, Spearmon placed first and Boldon was second in the race, which Rolling Stone called “extremely unofficial.”
“34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” the rapper said after the race, according to NBC.
