Snoop Dogg has stolen the show in the French capital and if there was a gold medal for hilarious moments, he would surely take the crown.

Here are a look at his best bits so far.

Torch Relay

Snoop ran with the torch through the streets of Saint-Denis and said afterwards: “I felt like Muhammad Ali. I found out that when you hold the torch, you’re a peace messenger.”

“I was waving, shaking hands, kissing the babies — doing what I do, you understand me? Putting my foot in the pavement, letting the people know that we’re here. We’re here for peace, love, unity and great sportsmanship.”

Fans joked “you can’t smoke that” as he carried the famous flame.

Swimming lessons

The 52-year-old jumped in the pool with GOAT Michael Phelps for a swimming lesson.

Phelps told him “lung power” was key and Snoop couldn’t resist a cheeky nod to his love of marijuana, saying: “You just described me. You said wingspan, lung power — I definitely have great lung power.”

Snoop also had a go at the 100m and judo.

On the mic

The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper then picked up the microphone and had a go at commentary.

Using all his lyrical talent, he added some West Coast flow to badminton, saying during a lengthy point: “Oh, I love this badminton right here — this is a great rally right here. They’re rockin’ and rollin’, back and forth.

“Nope, over here. No, over there. Wait a minute. Way up in the sky. Now down. Back up. Over there. Now over here. Get out the way. Move. I told you. We need that.”

No1 fan

In one his most bizarre appearances at the Olympics, Snoop rocked up at the equestrian dressed like a rider.

He donned the long black tailcoat and helmet as he watched the dressage final from the best seats in the house.

The man who claims the Queen was a fan of his music also cheered on Team USA legend Simone Biles as she fired her country to gold in the team gymnastics event.

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has also ticked off the boxing and beach volleyball so far.

Serving up some fun

The music icon also showed his love for tennis – especially American flag bearer Coco Gauff.

He wore a shirt with her face printed on it and got legend Billie Jean King to do a pose with him as they sat next to each other in the stands.

Work of art

A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without taking in the stunning Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

Snoop Dogg joked he couldn’t get out her eyeline before claiming: “I just found out I was Mona Lisa’s twin brother Tony Lisa.”

He also made viewers laugh during his private “snooping around” tour of the gallery by accidentally calling a naked man in one of the paintings a lady.

Summarising his time at the Games so far in his unique way, Snoop said: “I’m doing the things that I do to politically stay correct and just being Snoop Dogg. That’s what I know how to do the best.”
