2023 Bislett Games -- Oslo Diamond League

Live show going on in 3 minutes here we'll talk about this later.

Karsten Warholm put the Norwegian crowd into a frenzy with a Diamaond League record time. 4th fastest time ever.

Dominant win and world leader for Ta Lou as Shericka Jackson was .23 back.

This was an all-time great 5000m race.

Yomif Kejelcha and Jacob Kiplimo obliterated the world best of 12:52.03 by Mohamed Katir and ran side by side to the line at the end it took a couple of minutes of looking at the photos finish to separate them with Kejelcha getting the win.

Joe Klecker got 4th in this one but this was about the amazing running up front.

The final 4 laps were 60.09, 60.07, 58.42 and 55.75 (3:54.33) what a run. 

Paul Chelimo was leading through 2k and got a season's best but clearly has a ways to go.

Birke Haylom is a new 1500 year-old start. Only 17-years old, she got her first Diamond League win by taking over the lead when the rabbit dropped out after 2 laps. Haylom kept pushing the 3rd lap and opened up a gap 10-15 meters at the bell.  Jess Hull, the only person with a faster 1500m seasonal best in the field than Haylom, gave chase the final lap along with Cory McGee of the US and Nikki Hilts of the US tried to close late, but Haylom had a little something left and got the win in 4:17.13 .

Noah Lyles still has the world leader, but Knighton improved his season's best from 19.89 to 19.77 as Andrew de Grasse continues to struggle (20.33).

Beatric Chebet, the world 5000 silver medallist and world XC champ, got the win in 8:25.01 as she powered away from the field on the final lap.

Alicia Monson of the US pushed the pace from 800 to go as their was a lead pack of 8 that included Weini Kelati as well. With 400 to go Lilian Rengerek took the lead and Monson got gapped but Chebet struck with 200 to go and it was all over.

Monson held on for 4th as Kelati got a PB in 5th of 8:32.50 (she ran 8:33 indoors last year).

The world record holder Wayde Van Niekerk's comeback continued with his first DL win since 2017 (he won a B race last year in Zurich).

Van Niekerk is undefeated since September of last year.

Reminder our live thread is here.

Bol has gotten faster in each of her 3 400m hurdles races this year - 53.12, 52.43, 52.30 and all three times were world leaders as no one else has run faster than Britton Wilson's 53.23.
