I’ve been enjoying watching U.S. Olympic Trials for various disciplines (gymnastics is on this weekend!) including track & field earlier this week where I’ve had two revelations. #1 There’s a human steeplechase, which to me is super silly looking (they have a water fence!) though incredibly testing, I’m sure, so no disrespect. And #2 I actually really enjoy Snoop Dog’s commentary. He joined the NBC broadcast team out at Hayward Field and in fact, here he is commentating on the men’s steeplechase.
Of course, dressage had a viral moment last Olympics (in case you need a refresher, just watch the video above) when Snoop dubbed Steffen Peters’ Suppenkasper as ‘Rave Horse’. Snoop has recently said he hopes to meet the Rave Horse in person this year and lucky for him Steffan and “Moxie” have indeed been selected for their second consecutive Olympics, so we’d love to see that happen!
