Media Information Welcome to Bislett The Bislett Alliance is delighted to welcome you to Oslo for truly world class athletics at the Bislett Stadium on 9 June 2016. The ExxonMobil Bislett Games is the seventh in this year’s IAAF Diamond League series following Doha, Shanghai, Rabat, Eugene, Rome, and Birmingham. With quality fields in all events, including many Olympic Champions, World Champions and European Championships, we are set for yet another exciting evening at Bislett. The upcoming Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this August makes the competitions even more important as athletes are looking to find their best form. The Bislett Stadium is known globally as "the World Record Track", testimony to the 69 world records in athletics that have been established at this unique stadium. Bislett is equally well known for the electric atmosphere in the stadium and its knowledgeable spectators that encourage and support all competitors. Since 1966, Oslo's position as a leader in world athletics has been recognized and the Diamond League series, which is now in its seventh year, will guarantee world class athletics at the Bislett Stadium for the years to come. In an effort to reduce the environmental footprint of the IAAF Diamond League all information is made available online and less items are printed. In the Information Finder Guide on page 8 you will find an overview over where to find the various information. I hope this guide will help you in your work and answer your questions. Please see oslo.diamondleague.com for all the latest information, including start lists and Diamond Race standings. The web site will be continuously updated with results during the meeting. I wish you an enjoyable evening! Solveig Høyland Press Chief Weather forecast for Thursday evening 0-0.9mm Light breeze 2 m/s from southwest 18°C ExxonMobil Bislett Games Media Kit 2nd edition 8 June 2016 Page 1 Velkommen til Bislett Bislett Alliansen ønsker velkommen til friidrettsfest på Bislett 9. juni. ExxonMobil Bislett Games er det sjuende stevnet i årets IAAF Diamond League etter Doha, Shanghai, Rabat, Eugene, Roma og Birmingham. Det er sterke startfelt i alle øvelsene. Flere olympiske mestre, verdensmestre og europamestre er klare til dyst, så alt bør ligge til rette for nok en fantastisk friidrettskveld på Bislett med spennende oppgjør og gode resultater. OL i Rio de Janeiro i august gjør at konkurransene blir ekstra viktige for utøvere som jakter olympisk form. «The World Record Track» er et begrep, og med sine 69 verdensrekorder er det ingen andre steder det er satt flere verdensrekorder enn på Bislett. Den intime atmosfæren og det kyndige og entusiastiske publikumet bærer utøverne fram til topp prestasjoner. Diamond League-serien er inne i sin sjuende sesong, og med den er vi sikret at det også i årene som kommer, vil være verdensklassefriidrett på Bislett, slik det har vært siden Bislett Alliansen arrangerte for første gang i 1966. Vi har også i år mange norske utøvere som er med og hevder seg i kampen mot den ypperste verdenseliten. Henrik Ingebrigtsen, Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal, Ingvill Måkestad Bovim, Karsten Warholm og Isabelle Pedersen stiller i spissen for den norske troppen. Vi prøver å redusere papirmengden som brukes i IAAF Diamond League og legger derfor ut all informasjon på hjemmesiden og kopierer opp færre dokumenter. Under Informasjons- guide på side 14 finner du en oversikt over hvor du finner ulike typer informasjon. Jeg håper dette heftet vil hjelpe deg i arbeidet og gi svar på de spørsmål du måtte ha. Du finner alt av oppdatert informasjon på oslo.diamondleague.com, blant annet startlister og stillingen i Diamond Race-konkurransen, og nettsiden oppdateres fortløpende med resultater under stevnet.
