PARIS — She won't start competing for a few days still,Fastexy but already Angelica Delgado had an experience to remember at her third Olympic Games.
Delgado, a U.S. medal hopeful at 52 kilograms, taught rap icon Snoop Dogg a judo move that he jokingly named after himself during a promotional appearance Wednesday.
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, will be a torchbearer before the opening ceremony Friday and is contributing to NBC's coverage of the Games.
"That was awesome," Delgado told USA TODAY. "He loved one of the judo moves cause it sounded like O.G., and it’s really Ouchi, but I let him have it. I was like, 'Yeah, the O.G. We’ll name that after you.' It was awesome."

An Ouchi-gari is a move where an attacker strikes an opponent's chest then does a rear throw by hooking the opponent's leg from the inside and knocking the opponent on their back.
Delgado said she taught Snoop Dogg a hip throw that he then demonstrated on Team USA coach Jhonny Prado.

"He did great," Delgado said. "I think if he kept at it, I mean, he was kind of fearless. That’s like half the battle. Especially doing judo as an adult, you just kind of have to be fearless and just go for it and not be afraid to be thrown or tossed or anything.
"I’m going to call it the O.G. from now on, I’m not even going to say the Japanese name for the throw, but it was really cool."
Delgado, 33, finished ninth at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and 17th at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. She is one of four Americans who qualified for the Paris Olympics in judo.
Team USA also awarded Snoop Dogg his own keikogi, the uniform worn in competition, and an honorary black belt in judo, Prado said.
"He didn’t expect it," Prado said. "And it’s funny because the first thing that he said, 'I told Bruce Lee that I was going to become a black belt and I’m thanking you.' He’s something else. It was really great."
