Former speed skater Marianne Timmer<\/strong> claimed that she had a negative run-in with Snoop Dogg<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s security team at the 2026 Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Timmer, 51, was in attendance at the men\u2019s 1,000-meter speed skating race on Wednesday, February 12. Snoop Dogg, 54, was also at the event, cheering on Team USA. The gold medalist claimed to Dutch outlet Sportnieuws<\/em><\/a> on Thursday, February 12, that she encountered the rapper\u2019s security team, who mistook her for a fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was standing against a wall, and one of the security guards pushed me even closer. I said, \u2018Just act normal.\u2019 It\u2019s a really wide hall, about four meters,\u201d she told the outlet, which was translated by Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cThen the guy came back, and I said, \u2018What?! Do I have to go through that wall or something?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Timmer alleged that the security guard did not like her comment and \u201cstarted acting all up against\u201d her. Timmer claimed she told the security guard that she was \u201cwaiting\u201d to speak to Dutch athletes Jennings de Boo<\/strong>, Joep Wennemars<\/strong> and Kjeld Nuis<\/strong>, as she is a media commentator for the games. (De Boo, 22, ended up taking home the silver medal while the gold went to American speed skater Jordan Stolz.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe 2026 Winter Olympics are officially here \u2014 and Team USA is arriving in Italy with star power, storylines and sky-high expectations.\u00a0 As the world\u2019s best athletes descend on Milan and Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo, all eyes are on the Americans: from Ilia Malinin\u2019s can\u2019t-miss moment in men\u2019s figure skating to Mikaela Shiffrin\u2019s long-awaited redemption tour on [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Timmer also claimed that security at the event was strict.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw a Dutchman being roughly escorted away from the stands by some very large security guards. I could just picture myself being grabbed by the neck and thrown out,\u201d she alleged to the outlet.<\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to Snoop Dogg for comment.<\/p>\n

Snoop Dogg has attended multiple Olympic events since the games kicked off on February 6. The rapper is serving as Team USA\u2019s first-ever honorary coach, a position that was announced ahead of the games.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeam USA athletes are the real stars \u2014 I\u2019m just here to cheer, uplift and maybe drop a little wisdom from the sidelines,\u201d he said in a December 2025 statement after his role with Team USA was revealed. \u201cThis team represents the best of what sport can be: talent, heart and hustle. If I can bring a little more love and motivation to that, that\u2019s a win for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the speed skating event, Snoop Dogg was spotted cheering on the athletes for snowboarding, skiing and curling.<\/p>\n
