Winfred Yavi and Snoop Dogg Share a Memorable Moment at the 2024 Paris Olympics

Kenyan-born athlete Winfred Yavi has made headlines by clinching a gold medal for Bahrain in the women’s 3000m steeplechase at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Yavi’s stunning performance, with a time of 8:52.76, included a remarkable final lap that saw her edge out defending Olympic champion Petruth Chemutaii.

Before switching her allegiance to Bahrain, Yavi faced intense competition to secure a spot on the Kenyan national team but did not qualify.

“I used to go to the Kenya team trials, and I didn’t qualify… It was my first priority; I was ready to represent my country,” Yavi told Mungai Eve during an interview.

She recounted that despite her dedication and hard work, the stiff competition meant only the top two athletes were selected.

In 2016, she placed third in youth trials but did not make the cut.

Yavi’s transition to Bahrain was facilitated by a connection within the sports sector, with her parents and coach supporting the move.

“I had done a lot of training; I had worked hard; that’s how I came and got the chance (to go to Bahrain), and I went,” she explained.

She also mentioned the additional step of acquiring Bahraini nationality.

The decision to change nationality faced backlash, especially from friends who questioned her choice.

Despite the negativity, Yavi and her support team made the decision to pursue her athletic dreams with Bahrain.

Her victory was celebrated with added excitement when Snoop Dogg, who is providing commentary for NBC at the Olympics, cheered her on in a viral TikTok video.

“Yes, Sir Big Snoop with the Gold medalist. My baby knows how to run. Run girl! Run!” he exclaimed.

Snoop Dogg is reportedly earning $500,000 a day for his role, with a total of $8 million anticipated for the entire Olympics.
