Dr. Dre Gets Training Offer from Former USA Archer After 2028 Olympics Comments

Dr. Dre has a standing offer from a former Olympic gold medalist to help him train for the 2028 Los Angeles Games if he is serious about taking up archery.

Justin Huish told TMZ Sports he would be happy to train Dr. Dre for the Olympics: "I'll come to your house. I will train you. I will dedicate my time to train with you."

Huish's comments come after Dr. Dre told Nischelle Turner of Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday he is "dead-ass serious" about trying out for the Olympics in 2028 (starts at 2:20 mark).

The hip-hop icon explained he "started playing around with archery in junior high" and recently got back into it after receiving an archery set-up as a gift from his son.

It would be hard for Dre to find a better teacher than Huish. The 49-year-old won two gold medals at the 1996 Olympics in the team and individual archery competitions.

While most Olympic events tend to favor younger athletes, there are some events that allow for older stars to compete. Juan Antonio Jimenez Cobo took part in the equestrian competition at the Paris Games at the age of 65.

Dr. Dre wouldn't be the first celebrity who attempted to qualify for the U.S. Olympic archery team if he does pursue it.

Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis took up the sport after the 1996 Games and took part in an Olympic qualifying competition in July 1999, but missed the field by finishing 24th in a field of 300 athletes.
