If there was any doubt that Snoop Dogg understands the assignment when it comes to Olympic vibes, his latest moment at the 2026 Winter Games put that debate to rest. The rapper and cultural icon went viral after popping up in a now-circulating video showing him sledding through the snow in a full Team USA look, including stars, stripes, a beanie, sunglasses, and all. The clip, shared by NBC Olympics, quickly became must-watch content, with on-screen text declaring, “We give you Snoop on a sled.”

In the now-viral clip, Snoop grabs a GoPro and hops onto a hilariously small sled, immediately turning the snowy course into entertainment. As he pushes off, his long legs flail wildly on either side, barely fitting as he picks up speed. Midway down the run, Snoop can be heard shouting, “Oh sh-t!” as he wobbles and nearly wipes out more than once, fighting to keep the sled upright.

When he finally comes to a stop, Snoop collapses backward onto the snow, lying flat on his back and soaking in the moment, visibly relieved that he made it down in one piece. Fans flooded the comments immediately, turning the moment into an internet event. One viewer joked, “Now who gave him a kid-size sled?” while another added, “Definitely needed a bigger sled thing.”

Others leaned into the bigger picture, calling Snoop “exactly what our world needs right now” and dubbing him “the best cheerleader.” As one fan perfectly summed it up, “Every sport becomes a vibe once Snoop arrives.”

Becoming America’s Biggest Cheerleader

The sledding clip wasn’t a one-off. In fact, it was just the opening act. Soon after, Snoop was spotted courtside at an Olympic curling match, proving that he really is "America's biggest cheerleader." Cameras caught him watching Team USA’s Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse in action, rocking a custom shirt featuring their faces like a proud superfan.

According to NBC Olympics, Snoop sat alongside Dropkin’s mom as the American duo improved to 4–0 at the Games. Online, curling fans and casual viewers alike loved seeing the sport get its shine. “Curling getting the love it deserves,” HomeGoods commented, while others begged for even more Snoop content, writing, “Can he please narrate for us?”

Snoop Dogg Goes From Curling Fan To Curling Student At The 2026 Olympics

Ahead of the match, a video shared on Instagram showed Snoop learning how to curl, leaning into the Olympic experience. Dressed head-to-toe in Team USA gear, he stepped onto the ice sheet with a broom in hand as athletes and crew guided him through the basics.

The clip captures Snoop crouching low, concentrating as he tries to get the form down. At one point, he grips the broom like a seasoned pro, even if his form suggests he’s still very much in training mode.

The moment only added to his growing reputation as the Games’ most enthusiastic participant, not just showing up for the vibes, but genuinely engaging with the sport. As fans joked in the comments, “Curling? Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ thang,” while others dubbed him “Coach Snoop."

From Zamboni Rides To Olympic Torchbearer

Snoop’s Olympic side quests didn’t stop at sledding or curling. During his time in Italy, the hip-hop icon was also spotted hitching a ride on a Zamboni as it zipped around the Milano Ice Skating Arena.

He carried that momentum straight into Milan’s streets, where Snoop helped carry the Olympic Torch through the city ahead of the 2026 Opening Ceremony.
