Dr. Dre Plans to Try Out for 2028 Olympics
On Tuesday (Aug. 13), Dr. Dre sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight after performing with Snoop Dogg in Long Beach, Calif to kick off where Los Angeles will host the 2028 games. When asked what sport he’d like to compete in, Dre said he fully plans on trying out for archery when the 2028 Olympic Games come to Los Angeles.
“archery,” he said around the three-minute mark in the video below. “I’m dead-a*s serious.”
Dre added he was actually quite the experienced archer, and thinks he has a shot at competing. “I actually started archery in junior high. I stopped for a while, and my son bought me a setup, I don’t know if was for my birthday or Father’s Day or something like that. So I have it set up in my backyard. I heard that qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet, and I practice at 90. Wouldn’t that be interesting to go, especially with it being here in L.A., and win the gold medal?”
Dre concluded by saying, “I feel like I can do anything.”
The wild kick-off ceremony included Snoop performing “Drop It Like It’s Hot” before bringing out Dre for “The Next Episode.” H.E.R. also sang the national anthem.
