Information Welcome to Bislett The Bislett Alliance is delighted to welcome you to Oslo for truly world class athletics at the Bislett Stadium on 15 June 2017. First held in 1966, the Oslo Bislett Games is the fifth in this year’s IAAF Diamond League series following Doha, Shanghai, Eugene and Rome. 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 World Championships in London this August makes the competitions even more important as the 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. In a major restructure, the IAAF Diamond League has from this season adopted a championship style model where athletes will earn points in the first 12 IAAF Diamond League meetings to qualify for two final meetings. The season is now a race to reach the finals with the winners crowned as IAAF Diamond League Champions. As a part of the ambition of Oslo Bislett Games to become the most sustainable international athletics meeting in the world, all transport is to be completely emission free from the moment the athletes arrive in Norway. Moreover, the athletes will travel by train to the next IAAF Diamond League meeting, Bauhaus-galan in Stockholm. 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 the standings in the IAAF Diamond League Road to final. 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 0mm 23°C Light breeze 4 m/s from south-southwest Oslo Bislett Games Media Kit 1st edition 13 June 2017 Page 1 of 44 Velkommen til Bislett Bislett Alliansen ønsker velkommen til friidrettsfest på Bislett 15. juni. Oslo Bislett Games er det femte stevnet i årets IAAF Diamond League etter Doha, Shanghai, Eugene og Roma. Det er sterke startfelt i alle øvelsene. Flere olympiske mestre, verdens- mestre 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. VM i London i august gjør at konkurransene blir ekstra viktige for utøvere som jakter olympisk form. Vi har også i år flere norske utøvere som er med og hevder seg i kampen mot den ypperste verdenseliten. Karsten Warholm, Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal, Filip og Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Isabelle Pedersen og Hedda Hynne. Bislett Games ble arrangert for første gang i 1966, og «The World Record Track» ble etter hvert et begrep. 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. Konkurranseformatet for IAAF Diamond League er lagt om foran denne sesongen. Utøverne bruker nå de 12 første IAAF Diamond League-stevnene til å kvalifisere seg til de to siste stevnene (finalestevnene) i Zürich og Brussel. Sesongen blir nå en konkurranse om å komme til finalen der vinnerne kåres til IAAF Diamond League-mestre. Oslo Bislett Games har som mål å bli verdens mest bærekraftige internasjonale friidretts- stevne og sørger derfor for at fra det øyeblikket utøverne kommer til Norge, er all transport helt utslippsfri, og når utøverne reiser videre til neste IAAF Diamond League-stevne, Bauhaus-galan i Stockholm, skjer det med tog. 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 IAAF Diamond League – Veien til finalen, og nettsiden oppdateres fortløpende med resultater under stevnet.
