Diamond League in Oslo: the two Norwegians exalt themselves, for Jakob 3’27″95, for Karsten 46″52 on the 400 hurdles

The fifth meeting of the Wanda Diamond League of the season in Oslo offers a great show after the stages of the Golden Gala and the meeting in Paris. The big Norwegians exalt themselves at the Bislett stadium: Jakob Ingebrigtsen does not complete the assault on El Guerrouj’s 1500m world record (3’26”00), but the Olympic, world and European champion wins one of the most exciting 1500m always in 3’27”95, beating his European record of 3’28”32. In eight under 3:30, a record within a record.

What Warholm

Karsten Warholm also made his debut with a stunning 46”52 in the 400m hurdles, the fourth performance in history. But the whole evening is fabulous, with eight seasonal world records and nine meeting records. Middle-distance running in galactic format, with the women’s 5000m won in 12’41″73 by the Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha over the Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo and with the U20 and U18 world record by the Ethiopian Birke Haylom (4’17″13) in the mile.
