EME News presented the Preview of the Bislett Games that we have below. Expect the High Jump to be amazing. There are big bonuses to break the 2.37m MR from Javier Sotomayer!

Green Bislett Games with high jump expectations
OSLO (NOR): Bislett Games are this year headlined by green approach and the meet is in this way the frontrunner for future. For example athletes will travel to the meet by special trams, no buses or cars will be used. Warholm´s debut and two Ingebrigtsen´s are the local headliners. Internationally top fields in men high jump (special for meet director Steinar Hoen) and women 800 m. Also De Grasse is looking for his career 10th legal sub 10 and Dafne Schippers for first sub 22 of the season. In discus for men and women together both olympic winners are competing. Special guest at the meet is legendary Edwin Moses.
Short previews
Men
100m – Jimmy Vicaut is the only sub-10 competitor based on season’s bests with 9.97 but he was beaten by CJ Ujah in Rome. Andre de Grasse is also returning to form with a good 200m win in Rome.
