Adele didn’t let her live show get in the way of watching the 2024 Summer Olympics.
During her concert in Munich on Saturday (Aug. 3), the 36-year-old British songstress paused her performance to watch the women’s 100-meter final in Paris, as seen in a fan-captured clip posted on the X (formerly Twitter) account for NBC Olympics.
The “Easy on Me” singer then broadcast the 11-second race on the big screen for all 75,000-something fans at the custom-built Adele Arena, where her 10-night residency launched on Friday.
The Munich crowd fell to a hush as Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia took home the gold medal, finishing the race in 10.72 seconds. U.S. stars Sha’carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson won silver and bronze, respectively.
After Alfred’s victory, which marked Saint Lucia’s first Olympic gold medal in history, Adele asked the audience to give the runner a hand for the accomplishment.
“Let’s give her a round of applause!” the 16-time Grammy winner said. “Let’s get on with the show. Fantastic, St. Lucia!”
Adele also had the Olympics on her mind during the opening night of the mini-residency on Friday.
“… While I was watching world-class athletes, I’d be like, ‘Oh that landing was a bit dodgy, wasn’t it? Oh her legs weren’t really straight,’ Meanwhile, if I tried anything that they do, I’d be dead,” she said in a fan-captured video from the show. “I’d absolutely die if I tried to even do a little, any kind of movement at all.”
During the concert, Adele also gave props to U.S. gymnast Simone Biles for winning multiple gold medals, calling her “absolutely brilliant.”
