The Oslo Diamond League 2021 – also known as the Bislett Games – will be held on July 1 in Norway’s capital Oslo.

The Oslo Diamond League 2021 will be headlined by one of the best sprinters in the business, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The Jamaican, who will be up against Marie-Josée Ta Lou, Natasha Morrison and Javianne Oliver, will be gunning to add a 20th title to her kitty.

Fraser-Pryce qualified for the Tokyo Olympics on June 26 after clocking 10.71 seconds in Jamaica's National Athletics Championships. The sprinter has been in glorious form of late. Weeks before qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, she rewrote the record books when she clocked just 10.63 seconds to become the fastest athlete in Kingston on June 5.

With Fraser-Pryce looking menacing, Merlene Ottey's Oslo record of 10.88s could be in danger.

The men’s 1500m race also promises to be exciting, with Jakob Ingebrigtsen leading the pack. He holds the European record with a time of 3:28.68 and will face tough competition from the likes of Ronald Musagala, Marcin Lewandowski and Stewart McSweyn.

Armand Duplantis, Sam Kendricks and Renaud Lavillenie headline the pole vault event. With more than 70 Diamond League wins between them, the field promises to dish out a spectacle.

The home fans will also have a lot to cheer on as favorites Karsten Warholm and Jakob Ingebrigtsen will lead the field in the 400m hurdles event.
