Adele stops concert for crowd to watch Olympic women’s 100m final in wild scene

Rumor has it that Adele is a big fan of the Summer Olympics.
At the 16-time Grammy award winner’s concert on Saturday in Munich, Germany, there was a break from her setlist to turn on a broadcast on the big screen of the women’s 100-meter sprint final in Paris.
Despite Richardson’s dominance in the opening-round heat on Friday with a time of 10.94 seconds, Adele, her fans and the world watched the American runner take silver with a 10.87 run after Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred got out front for gold to win the island nation’s first-ever Olympic medal.
It wasn’t the only big watch party around the world, as Saint Lucia had one of their own to watch Alfred sprint for the gold in what was arguably a rowdier gathering.
Scores of Saint Lucia natives could be seen dancing, waving flags, and running around screaming in celebration in a video of the watch party.
