Snoop Dogg has been everywhere at the 2024 Olympics, from the track trials to the Opening Ceremony. Even before the games started, he was also a torchbearer. Now, he's at the Team USA gymnastics preliminaries with the GOAT, Simone Biles, across his chest.
As an official correspondent for NBC, it is only right that the rapper is showing up for all of the Team USA athletes, but rocking a shirt with Simone Biles on it is taking that commitment to the next level. Fashion and sports have always gone together, but they're more widely placed together now — especially in women's sports. Snoop, who is notoriously a style icon in his own right, has merged the growing love of women's sports with fanwear in a perfect Paris 2024 highlight.
Snoop picked a great day to rep Simone Biles with his tee of choice. At the gymnastics meet on Sunday, July 28, Biles fought through pain in her calf and went on to secure not only a spot in the all-around finals but also all four apparatus. She is only one medal short of breaking legend Shannon Miller's 1996 Olympic record of being the most decorated gymnast, male or female. By making the Paris Olympic team, Biles joins Muriel Davis Grossfeld (1956, 1960, and 1964), Linda Metheny (1964, 1968, and 1972), and Dominique Dawes (1992, 1996, and 2000) as the only American women to make three Olympic teams.

At the competition in Paris, Biles secured an all-around score of 59.566, the highest total yet and more than three points ahead of her teammate Suni Lee. Biles' journey back to the Olympics has been one of perseverance after struggling with "the twisties" in Tokyo. She's out to show the world why she's the best, and it's so clear she's already done so with how warmly the world embraces her gifts. So, it's no wonder stars like Snoop Dogg are toting her face on their clothes. She will go down in history as one of the greatest athletes of all time, which is no small feat.
