Was the Oslo 1500 the greatest 1500 ever? It set world records for all these places:
Best 5th place finish: 3:29.18 Mario Garcia (was 3:29.66 Nick Willis 2015 Monaco)
Best 6th place finish: 3:29.26 Azeddine HABZ (was 3:29.67 Elijah Manangoi 2015 Monaco)
Best 7th place finish: 3:29.41 Ollie Hoare (was 3:29.91 Nick Willis 2014 Monaco)
Best 8th place finish: 3:29.47 Narve Gilje Nordas (was 3:30.29 Aman Wote 2015 Monaco)
Best 9th place finish: 3:30.07 Josh Kerr (was 3:37.34 Collins Cheboi 2015 Monaco)
(best 10th place finish is 3:30.40 by Centro at 2015 Monaco, not beaten)
Best 11th place finish: 3:31.76 Abel Kipsang (was 3:32.42 Baptiste Mischler 2021 Monaco)
Best 12th place finish: 3:32.00 Andreas Almgren (was 3:32.95 Juan Carlos Higuero 2004 Brussels)
Best 13th place finish*: 3:32.24 Teddese Lemi
And all that with a solid 3:27 winning time. The only thing it's missing was no serious challenge for the win. But I don't think we've digested just how deep this race was yet.
*I don't have data for best 13th place finish but it logically has to be a record for that place as well, because the fastest 12th place finish was slower
