Diamond league oslo – electrifying 5000s – beautiful warholm – sports

On the road

The meeting at Oslo, with splendid external circumstances, had already progressed well when it had a great moment. Because athletics has not seen a faster 5000m race in the past five years. But the event also had a second feature: this is poignant.

After 12.5 laps and a thrilling duel between Ethiopia and Uganda, the final photo had to decide. Yomif Kjelcha He was finally ahead by a few milliseconds in 12:41.73 minutes and is now listed in the statistics books as the fifth fastest athlete in history. Jacob Kiplemo and Kegilsha’s Ethiopian compatriot Tilahun Haile Bekele, who was nearly four and a half seconds behind, followed in the other places.

On the heels of long distances sprint specialists performed Marie Jose Ta Lou A very mature performance on the tartan track. The woman from Ivory Coast was clocked at 10.75 seconds. This score on the scoreboard represents a global season best as well as a meeting record. The previous record stood for a quarter of a century and was once set by Marion Jones (USA), who was later convicted of doping.

The crowd really grabbed their seats Karsten Warholm. The local champion made an impressive comeback after breaking an injury and ran the over 400m hurdles with giant strides right back in front. In 46.52 seconds – the highest mark in the Diamond League – the Olympic champion managed to make the opponent’s extras with a margin of 1.06 seconds. Only with his own world record (45.94 seconds) from nearly two years ago was Warholm a little faster.

The last fireworks went off Jacob Ingebrigtsen – and again this was quite to the taste of the local public. “Viking” set a European record over 1,500 meters in 3:28.32 minutes and is close to the 25-year-old world record set by Hicham El Guerrouj (3:26.00).

The initial spark for Bislett Games was from Fimic Paul, under the auspices of Swiss coach Laurent Moele. The Dutchwoman launched the main program with the best global performance of the year, which equaled a meeting record. With 52.30 seconds over the full circuit with 10 hurdles, the competition is floundering in vain. Only two athletes have surpassed Paul in history: Delilah Muhammad and Sydney McLaughlin Levrone. Paul’s career best is 52.03 seconds.

The only 19-year-old runner to pull off another record double, consisting of meets and personal best times Erion Knighton. The shooting star from the United States, who already won bronze at the World Championships in Eugene last year, claimed his third straight victory on European soil. In 19.77 seconds, he pulled away from the unaffected competition by 32 hundredths and more. Incidentally, Knighton snatched the 10-year-old meeting record from Usain Bolt by 3 percent.

Have a nice win Wayde Van Niekerk On a 400-meter course. South Africa’s world record holder won his first Diamond League race since 2017 after an injury drought, and the 30-year-old won in 44.38 seconds, 11-hundredths ahead of Zambian Mozala Samukunga, the season’s reveal.

Another best performance of the year in the Norwegian capital can be attributed to the Olympic champion Wojciech Nowicki. Pole threw the apparatus 81.92 m with his second throw.
