Snoop Dogg's hilarious reaction to Simone Biles' Olympics qualifying performance wins the Internet
PARIS, FRANCE: Simone Biles' Women's Gymnastics qualification performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris elicited an astonishing response from Snoop Dogg on Sunday.
Despite exacerbating a calf injury, Biles delivered a fantastic performance. The four-time Olympic gold medallist led Team USA to victory in the team all-around, finishing more than five points ahead of second-place Italy.
Snoop Dogg gave eye-popping reaction to Simone Biles' Olympics performance
Like most Americans, the rapper-turned-Olympics torchbearer and NBC commentator was watching Biles when the Team USA gymnastics star competed for the first time at the Paris Games in Bercy Arena.
The 'Drop It Like It’s Hot' hitmaker, 52, wore an American flag jacket over a t-shirt that featured the face of gymnastics icon Simone Biles to show his support.
Even he was in disbelief at one point as he witnessed the athlete perform one of the hardest feats in gymnastics - a back handspring off the vault followed by two flawless backflips performed in midair and a landing on her feet.
In an amusing video posted on social media platforms, the Doggfather hilariously took off his sunglasses as Biles shot through the air, shaking his head and opening his eyes wide in shock.

With a combined score of 15.300 from her two vaults, Biles concluded the Sunday competition at the top of the overall standings with a 59.566 score, per Daily Mail.
Snoop Dogg's response was too funny, and entirely justified, considering that despite her injury's discomfort, Biles was still able to execute the Yurchenko double pike on the vault, which has since become one of her signature moves.
Biles will next compete on July 30 in the women's team final, when she's sure to amaze Snoop Dogg and the rest of the viewers.

Snoop Dogg affirms Suni Lee while supporting Simone Biles in the 2024 Olympics
The rapper supported the American women's gymnastics team during the opening weekend of the Summer Games, which included some spiritual coaching with Suni Lee.
In a video uploaded on Monday, July 29, Snoop Dogg leads the 21-year-old gold medalist in a series of affirmations, beginning with "I have trained my entire life for the Olympics" and "I look great wearing gold."
Snoop then skeptically discusses with the medalist the seemingly impossible physics of performing flips on the balance beam.
Lee laughed as the artist then humorously mispronounced a French term, "Mon saut de main arrière est plus haut que la Tour Eiffel," which roughly translates to, "My somersault is higher than the Eiffel Tower," per Billboard.
Dogg witnessed Team USA perform in the women's qualifiers at Bercy Arena the day before, when Biles and Lee earned first and second places in the all-around competition, respectively.
