   PARIS -- (CNN) - American rapper and actor Snoop Dogg will be one of the   
   final torchbearers of the Olympic flame ahead of the Games' Opening Ceremony   
   in Paris on Friday.   
      
   Snoop Dogg, whose full name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., will carry the   
   torch through the neighborhood of Saint-Denis, according to the town's   
   mayor, Mathieu Hanotin.

   journey before it reaches the Eiffel Tower.   
      
      
   The rapper will also be involved in official coverage for this year's   
   games.,   
      
   Snoop is expected to provide "regular reports" and "explore the city's   
   iconic landmarks," according to event organizers.   
      
   "I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible   
   athletes bring their A-game to Paris. It's a celebration of skill,   
   dedication, and the pursuit of greatness," Snoop Dogg said in a statement in   
   December.   
      
   Track and Field fans are no stranger to the rapper and the cache he brings.

   this month, running a 200-meter exhibition race in 34.44 seconds.
