Snoop Dogg to Carry Olympic Torch Through Saint-Denis Ahead of Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony.

This Friday, American rap artist Snoop Dogg will carry the Olympic torch through Saint-Denis, marking a significant moment ahead of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Joining him are French actress Laetitia Casta, French rap artist MC Solaar, and retired Ukrainian pole vaulter Sergey Bubka.

Snoop Dogg, along with his fellow torchbearers, will navigate the streets of Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris known for its diverse community and home to the Olympic Stadium and Aquatic Center. The town’s mayor, Mathieu Hanotin, confirmed this exciting news to AFP on Monday.

The Olympic flame has been on a two-month journey across France, and on Friday morning, it will pass through the athlete’s village situated between Saint-Denis and nearby Saint-Ouen. The torch will then proceed to the Olympic Stadium and Aquatic Center, just a few kilometers away.

Snoop Dogg, 52, was born in Los Angeles, which will host the next Olympics in 2028. This torch relay will not be the only appearance for the rapper at the 2024 Olympics, as he will also serve as an Olympic commentator for the US television network NBC.

The inclusion of high-profile figures like Snoop Dogg, Laetitia Casta, MC Solaar, and Sergey Bubka adds a layer of excitement and global appeal to the Olympic torch relay. As the flame makes its final rounds before the grand opening ceremony, anticipation builds for what promises to be a memorable event.

Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to the Paris Olympics, with thrilling moments and star-studded appearances that highlight the unity and spirit of the games.
