Timmer Recalls the Incident
In a conversation with Dutch outlet Sportnieuws, Timmer described the incident as something out of the ordinary. 'I was standing against a wall, and one of the security guards pushed me even closer,' she said. 'I said, 'Just act normal.' It's a really wide hall, about four meters. But then the guy came back, and I said, 'What? Do I have to go through that wall or something?'
Snoop's Role as Honorary Coach
As an honorary coach for Team USA, Snoop's role is to celebrate and support American athletes off the competition stage. According to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), his position is that of a volunteer tasked with 'celebrating and supporting American athletes.'
