The Bislett Oslo Games were a huge success! A sell out crowd, first in several years shows that their approach to the meet, showcasing stars of Norway with well picked global stars, made a lot of sense and was a good fiscal approach. The Diamond League has now had five every good meets, with more focused approaches in each market (Doha, Shangha, Eugene, Rome, Oslo).
