You're reading: Celebrities keeping a low profile at the Olympics

LONDON — Now that's more like it.

Mick
Jagger has dropped by Olympic Stadium to watch some track and field. It
didn’t help Britain’s medal count, but it reassured celebrity-watchers
worried that the world’s biggest sporting event might be lacking in star
power.

Jagger was photographed chatting with London games chief Sebastian Coe at the stadium on Monday evening.

He’s not the only A-lister to attend the games, but most are keeping a low profile.

Former
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was spotted at the Olympic
Stadium Tuesday. Billionaire Bill Gates has attended events including
table tennis and beach volleyball.

The London games have also
drawn a healthy sprinkling of royalty, with Prince William, his wife
Kate and brother Prince Harry popping up at everything from equestrian
to swimming to gymnastics.
