Adele officially has Olympics fever. The 16-time Grammy Award-winning singer had Olympics coverage streaming on the big screens before the first show of her residency on Friday (August 2) at the custom-made ADELE Arena in Munich. Adele expressed her love of the games and her unfair critiques of the competitors during the show. “I was watching world class athletes being like, ‘Oh, that ending was a bit dodgy, wasn’t it? Her legs weren’t really straight,’’ she said. “Meanwhile if I tried anything that they do, I would be dead. But I thought it was amazing and, of course, the legendary Simone Biles won gold, she was absolutely brilliant.”
Adele revealed that the event she was most looking forward to was Sha’Carri Richardson’s 100-meter dash. “I’m very excited about watching the 100 meters tomorrow,” she said. “I want Sha’Carri Richardson to win, fingers crossed.” When it came time for Richardson’s race on Saturday, Adele paused her show and had the event broadcast on the big screens in the arena, taking in the thrilling race – which Richardson came in a close second to winner Julien Alfred – with all of her fans.
