    If Simone Biles and Suni Lee win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, they’ll have Snoop Dogg to thank … kind of.

    The rapper spent part of the Summer Games’ first weekend cheering on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, part of which involved a little spiritual coaching with Lee. In a video posted Monday (July 29), Snoop incredulously discusses the seemingly impossible physics of doing flips on the balance beam with the 21-year-old gold medalist before leading her in a round of affirmations, starting with “I have trained my entire life for the Olympics” and “I look great wearing gold.”

    The musician then hilariously butchers a French phrase as Lee laughs: “Mon saut de main arrière est plus haut que la Tour Eiffel,” which translates to, “My somersault is higher than the Eiffel Tower.”

    The day prior, Snoop watched Team USA compete in women’s qualifications at Bercy Arena, which ended with Biles and Lee finishing first and second in the all-around, respectively. The ladies collectively earned 172.296 points and will advance to the finals on Tuesday (July 30).

    During the competition, the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” artist sported a T-shirt with Biles’ face on it. At one point, even he couldn’t believe what he was seeing as he watched the athlete nail one of the most difficult tricks in all of gymnastics, doing a back handspring off the vault before completing two solid backflips mid-air and landing on her feet.

    As she soared, the Doggfather hilariously removed his sunglasses with his eyes wide with disbelief, shaking his head, as captured in a video shared on Instagram .

    Snoop will be on site in Paris for the next two weeks as one of NBC’s correspondents , providing on-the-ground coverage of the Games. He hit the ground running on the day of the event’s Opening Ceremony, participating in the torch relay ‘s final leg before giving on-air commentary during the parade of nations on the Seine Friday (July 26).
