Norway’s Karsten Warholm and Jakob Ingebrigtsen will have a lot of support as they look to get back into prime form ahead of the Olympics.
The Diamond Leagues give athletes a field to hone their skills in the last minute and also give them a chance to gauge their preparedness for the Olympic Games. Athletes will also have three more Diamond League meets at Stockholm (July 4), Monaco (July 9) and London/Gateshead (July 13) before the Tokyo Olympic Games.
There are 13 events, seven for men and six for women, at the Oslo Diamond League.
