SZA may be one of music’s biggest stars, but her talents extend beyond the studio or stage.
In a video shared on Instagram ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the TDE songstress met up with U.S. gymnast Simone Biles and showcased her own skills in the gymnasium.
The clip begins with the two women embracing before SZA reveals that it had been a “dream” of hers to meet Biles, who is the most decorated gymnast in history.
The “Kill Bill” hitmaker also talks about her own past career in gymnastics before she decided to pursue music.
“When it was clear to me that I wasn’t gonna be a national gymnast, I was like, ‘Okay, let me see what I can do.’ I needed something to be competitive at,” she says.
SZA then dusts off some of her old moves by doing a handstand alongside Biles.
The Grammy-winner also posted a video on her Instagram Stories of her and Biles backflipping into a foam pit, after which SZA says: “That was fun as shit.”
Check out both clips below.
SZA isn’t the only musician who has been participating in the Olympic buildup.
Last month, Snoop Dogg showed off his physical fitness by running a 200-meter sprint during Team USA’s Summer Olympics track and field trials.
NBC, the broadcaster for the Olympics in the U.S., posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) of Tha Doggfather showcasing his sprinting skills in Eugene, Oregon.
In the clip, the 52-year-old rap legend busts a lung as he completes the dash while rocking a red, white and blue stars and stripes outfit, including a Kobe Bryant shirt.
After racing past the finish line, Snoop reacted to his time and came away rather impressed: “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” he declared.
It was previously announced that Snoop Dogg would join NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, which begin on July 26.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Snoop will speak with NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico and provide his “unique take” on the events.
He will also “explore the city’s iconic landmarks, attend Olympic competitions and events and make visits to the athletes, their friends and families.”
