Adele is clearly a big fan of the Summer Olympics.
During the 16-time Grammy award winner’s concert on Saturday in Munich, Germany, Adele took a break from her setlist to broadcast the women’s 100-meter sprint final in Paris on the big screen.
The race featured American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, who was on a redemption run after being suspended for testing positive for THC (cannabis), a banned substance under the World Anti-Doping Agency Rules.
Adele’s fans erupted in cheers, with many pulling out their cell phones to record the moment. Despite Richardson’s dominance in the opening-round heat on Friday with a time of 10.94 seconds, Adele, her fans, and viewers worldwide watched as the American runner took silver with a 10.87 run. Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred clinched the gold, winning the island nation’s first-ever Olympic medal. Fellow American Melissa Jefferson earned bronze.

With Alfred’s win, she claimed the title of the fastest woman in the world.
Adele’s new residency in Munich runs from August 2 to August 31.
With the Olympics concluding on August 11, there may be more spontaneous concert breaks to come as Adele and her fans celebrate the thrilling moments of the Games.
