Snoop Dogg will carry the Olympic flame during its penultimate leg in Saint-Denis, a suburb north of Paris known for housing part of the Olympic Village, the Stade de France, and the new Olympic Aquatics Centre.

Deadline also reported the participation of other notable French personalities in the torch relay, including rapper MC Solaar, actress Laeticia Casta, filmmaker Alice Diop from Saint Omer, Paralympian Charles-Antoine Kouakou, and rugby player Abdelatif Benazzi. However, the identity of the final torchbearer remains undisclosed, adding to the anticipation for the culminating event.
The journey of the Olympic flame began with its arrival from Greece to France on May 8, celebrated with a spirited ceremony in Marseille. Since then, the flame has traversed various regions of France, embodying the Olympic spirit and igniting excitement among spectators and participants alike.
According to NBC's official statement, Snoop Dogg will not only fulfill his role as a torchbearer but will also engage in attending Olympic competitions, interacting with athletes and their families, and immersing himself in the vibrant cultural offerings of Paris. All of these activities will be documented as part of his comprehensive coverage of the games.
