The opening ceremony will take place on Friday, with over 10,000 athletes gathering on boats on the Seine River.

The 52-year-old Snoop Dogg will also contribute to NBC’s coverage of the Olympics, and detailed his love of the Games in a December statement to the network.

‘I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris,’ he said.

‘It’s a celebration of skill, dedication, and the pursuit of greatness.’

After Snoop Dogg carries the torch before the opening ceremony, Lebron James will be the flagbearer for Team USA.
