Coco Gauff is enjoying her time at the 2024 Paris Olympics. While the 20-year-old is competing in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, she is also enjoying things off the court. Most recently, she declared herself as the winner of the ‘pin’ game as she revealed her present from Snoop Dogg.

Gauff posted a picture of the Snoop Dogg pin she received from the American rapper. It has a picture of the American hip-hop artist in a blue dress with the Olympic rings coming out of his mouth in the form of smoke.

The 52-year-old also shared a video of him sending the pin as a present to Gauff for her great game in the first round. The 20-year-old then posted a video in response, thanking him for the present. She also declared herself as the winner of the ‘pin’ trend.

I win the pin game!

Gauff also recently thanked Snoop Dogg for wearing a t-shirt with her picture on it while attending various events at the Paris Olympics.

Coco Gauff wants mental focus like Simone Biles

While Coco Gauff is an inspiration for many, the 20-year-old also looks up to other athletes. When she was asked to build her perfect athlete, or the ultimate Olympian, the 2023 US Open champion highlighted the necessary aspects.

Gauff stated that speed, strength, mental focus, hand-eye coordination, adaptability, teamwork, and creativity were the most important traits needed to become a perfect athlete. The World No. 2 then picked the sports from which she would want these traits to perfect the craft.

For speed, Gauff chose the 100-meter track and field event. The American tennis ace said that she wants the strength of a weightlifter, the hand-eye coordination of a table tennis player, the adaptability of a triathlon athlete, the teamwork of artistic swimmers, and the creativity of rhythmic gymnasts.

For one of the most important traits, mental focus, Gauff pointed to artistic gymnasts who maintain their focus despite the crowd cheers and the limited space on the balance beam. She named none other than Simone Biles as the athlete to look up to in this regard.
