Dr. Dre Is ‘Dead-Ass Serious’ About Wanting To Compete In The 2028 Olympics

Dr. Dre ended up playing a role in the 2024 Olympics, when he joined Snoop Dogg on stage for a Closing Ceremony performance . Dre would like to also be involved in the 2028 edition in Los Angeles, not as entertainment, but as an actual competitor in a sport he knows well.

In a recent interview with ET ( video here ), Dre said, “I’m trying to try out for the Olympics in 2028.” After some jokes about this year’s viral breakdancing sensation Raygun , Dre went on to say he’s “dead-ass serious” about wanting to compete in archery.

This isn’t just a new interest, as it’s apparently something that’s been a part of Dre’s life for a while now. He explained, “Actually, I started playing around with archery in junior high, alright? I stopped for a while, and my son bought be a set-up… I don’t know if it was for my birthday or Father’s Day or something like that. So I have it set up in my backyard, and I heard that qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet, and I practice at 90. Yeah, wouldn’t that be interesting to go, especially with it being here in LA, and win a gold medal?” He added, “I feel like I can do anything.”
