I had no choice but to fill today’s post with my favorite Olympic champion — USA’s newest mascot ✨Snoop D-O-Double-G✨. After virally losing his mind over Steffen Peters’ “rave horse” dressage during the Tokyo Olympics, Snoop has been nothing but vocal about his excitement over “the horses” — and as an official commentator and correspondent for NBC in Paris, of course he had to go all out. Calling in friend, cohost, and Friesian owner Martha Stewart, they took to Versailles dressed in full kit, including custom shadbelly, Samshield helmet, gloves, white breeches, and even half chaps over his black sneakers. I love him, I’m obsessed, we’re all obsessed, we need more, someone get Snoop on a horse. And honestly, this might be one of the best things that could’ve happened to dressage these days.

Freddie Crittenden entered the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics as one of the hurdlers to watch in the men’s 110-meter hurdles.
