From Kendall Jenner and Salma Hayek to Zendaya and Ryan Gosling, it seems every celeb is tuning into this year’s Paris Olympics. The obsession isn’t limited to just the viewing stands, either: In the middle of a concert on Saturday, Adele pressed pause on her performance to spotlight another by Sha’Carri Richardson.

During a concert in Munich, the singer brought the track and field women’s 100-meter final to center stage. She, as well as thousands of her fans, watched as Richardson won her first Olympic medal after nabbing silver in the event. Julien Alfred, who claimed gold, clinched the first-ever Olympic medal for her island country of Saint Lucia.

Richardson was the heavy favorite to win the 100-meter event, particularly after easily winning her heat and finishing second in the semifinals, which took place earlier on Saturday. Adele had even brought up the Games at a previous show on Friday, letting fans know that she was rooting for Richardson to win it all.

Of course, like many of us, Adele got caught up in the excitement of the Olympics. She poked fun at herself for (relatably) critiquing Olympic athletes from the comfort of her couch. “I was watching world-class athletes being like, ‘Oh, that ending was a bit dodgy, wasn’t it? Her legs weren’t really straight. Meanwhile, if I tried anything that they do, I would be dead. I’d absolutely die if I tried to even do a little any kind of move at all.” That said, it sounds like Adele will be sticking to singing “Chasing Pavements,” rather than taking the phrase literally.
