Les principaux résultats

* 400m haies : Dès la première course le stade du Bislett s'enflamme avec un énorme 52'30, MPM 2023, réussi par la Hollandaise Femke Bol, tout près de son record à 52'03.

"I think it is a good combination - me and Oslo. I really enjoyed the race as the atmosphere at the stadium was great. I love this stadium and you can hear how loud is the crowd. When it comes to the technique, I think I had a good execution today.

I tried to keep it untill hurdle seven and I have to ask my coach if it was really that good. I think it was really a bit better today. I think I executed the last two hurdles much better than before. I am just trying to be the bext myself when I am there and then to see the result.

It felt really good and fast. The world championships is still two months away so I am feeling good and I continue the work towards the championships."

 

* 400m hommes : Wayde Van Niekerk (AFS), champion olympique en 2016, de retour à un excellent niveau après de gros soucis physiques, s'impose en 44'38.

"I don't think people realise just how hard this event is both physicaly and mentally - you can see how long it takes me to recover so that shows I'm still not where I'm meant to be but I'm getting there.

It was a good race and it is great to be back on the circuit ut it is very hard for me right now. I'm just taking it race by race - I try not to think too far ahead but of course, Budapest is a big goal.

I'm happy to be back beating these guys, the event is in a good place right now. It was special to have my family over here with me - I want my children to experience this life with me when they can, and it is lovely here."

 

* Triple saut dames : Un concours énorme avec la reine Yulimar Rojas (VEN) victorieuse avec 14.91m, juste devant Perez Hernandez (CUB), 14.87, record personnel.

"Well, I am not sure I can say I am glad about my performance. I am never fully pleased with my competitions - I always aim for more. In reality, it was a rather strange event, it felt a little bit different. I felt fine during the warm-up but my legs were not really doing what I wanted.

It is true that I am coming back from the injury - I had a fall two weeks ago, and I could not really train well. So it means a lot to me to take the win here in Oslo. This win encourages me to keep working hard, because the level in the triple jump at the moment is increasing.

I am glad to be here and that I am going home with a win, above all, as this will help me to prepare for my next competition, which, I am sure, will be better.

Today, I had some faults, which I am not happy about. The best part of today was actually being out here. And despite the fault attempts, I has some good jumps too. I am still recovering."

 

* 3000m dames : Beatrice Chebet (KEN) régale le public, connaisseur, d'Oslo avec un excellent 8'25"03, MPM 2023 et record du meeting battu (Ekaterina Szabo 8'27"21 en 1999).

"First of all, I want to thank to god and secondly, I am very thankfull because I managed to run my PB and I can see my progress. In my event, the self-confidence is very important and also perseverance. The race was not easy but I had to believe in myself.

As you know, we are preparing for the world championships, I will try for my best and I will run 5000m. My goal is to go there and to bring a medal to my country. That is my main target now.

The key to achieve this is to trust the god, then to work hard and just believe in yourself. When Faith Kipyegon ran in Paris, I was watching it and I got very motivated. I said, one day, one time, even me, I will do it.. Step by step."

 

* Saut à la perche : Très facile, Mondo Duplantis (SUE) s'impose avec 6.01m réussis au 1er essai. Renaud Lavillenie, trois essais nuls à 5.61m en reste à 5.41m.

"I really do like Oslo and I like this stadium. It has a really really good atmosphere especially when you have your athletes doing so well like they do right now. It all helps to create this unique energy at the stadium.

I felt really good. I just had some problems at one place to find the rythm on the runway, choosing which poles to use... Some poles were a little softer than I expected. I know I have got higher jumps in me and I know I am in a good shape.

There are just those little things. Do you think that was ordinary? I like to think that the 6m is not an ordinary thing. I am not going to complain. I should not complain too much over 6m and the Diamond League win. It is a good start to the Diamond League season for me. For now, I like the start."

 

* 200m : Le jeune phénomène Erriyon Knighton (USA) remporte la course avec un magnifique 19'77, record du meeting, avec un vent de +0.6m/s;

"I came and won it as I said I would. I felt very good coming into the race and am pleased to take the meeting record from Usain Bolt but I want to make a name for myself at the Diamond League and to be remembered going forward as the meeting record holder.

I need to keep my body strong but I don´t want to be too bulky as I am not used to running like that. My goal at the World Champs is to be on the podium but I hope I can win it."

 

* Mile dames : Birke Haylom (ETH), jeune talent, bat le record du monde U20 en 4'17"13, 10e meilleure performance mondiale de tous les temps.

 

* 5000m hommes : Encore une course fabuleuse, historique avec Yomif Kejelcha (ETH), vainqueur, et Jacob Kiplimo (OUG) venus passer la ligne en même temps (photo finish) avec un chrono monstrueux de 12'41"73, 5e meilleure performance de tous les temps.

It was always my dream to win this event. Now, my next dream is Monaco, and then to become an Olympic champions one day... I do not know.

I will try to win the world title, but it is going to be difficult. I will try my best. I expected the finish to be like this - fight until the end. But I am glad I got it.

The most important thing is to work hard and with the hard work, you build up the self confidence. And I really work hard, that is the key.

 

* Disque dames : Succès surprise de la Hollandaise Jorinde Van Klinken avec 66.77m contre 66.18m pour la favorite Valarie Allman.

"I was definitelly waiting for a far throw but I have not had really good competition so far. Honestly, it is just crazy if you think about how many women are this good right now, there are many candidates for a medal at worlds.

It is good for the people to maybe realze that there are so many good women and we all have good throws. I am super happy that tonight, it was me and obviously, it is beyond special to beat the both of them tonight as they are both here - Valerie and Sandra.

I just wanted to have a lot of fun tonight. I had an extremely stressful year at school, extended MBA so more than a fulltime study. So now I can finally enjoy the competition and that makes a huge difference."

 

* 100m dames : Marie José Ta Lou (CIV) remporte la course avec un chrono turbo de 10'75, vent +0.9m/s, record du meeting et MPM 2023.

"It is amazing to come back and win here again after winning two years ago. To run a world lead is especially good but it is early in the season as we still have two months to the Championships but it bodes well.

I am running well in the Diamond League and it was a big strong field here so a good start but I need to keep working hard to get a medal at the Championships."

 

* Saut en longueur hommes : Nouvel exploit pour le décathlonien Suisse Simon Ehammer venu remporter le concours avec un superbe bond à 8.32m.

"It was nice weather and a wonderful crowd so it was a fantastic opportunity for a big jump tonight. I felt like I had one in me for a while and tonight I managed it on my second jump. I put lots of pressure on myself after the decathlon to do well here and in Paris.

I will decide whether to do the long jump or decathlon depending on which I think I can get a medal in.

There are very strong guys in all the events but if I go for the decathlon I have to know my body can take all ten events. I think the long jump traning can really help me - we do a lot of speed, a lot of hurdles practice."

 

* 400m haies hommes : Pour sa première course de la saison, le champion olympique et recordman du monde Karsten Warholm (NOR) signe une course fabuleuse, devant un public en feu, et passe la ligne en 46'52, 4e chrono de l'histoire, le 2e de sa carrière.

CJ Allen deuxième en 47'58, Wilfried Happio troisième en 48'13, Ludy Vaillant quatrième en 48'59.

"When you're on the track, you're in the bubble but I really felt the crowd lift me in the home straight - the adrenaline was really pumping in the last 100m. It was a race I will always remember - I felt really good today and knew something special was coming.

Today shows in the right circumstances, I can really attack the world record, maybe even this year. It really sucked to be out injured last year and I wanted to make sure I came back with a big boom -

I've worked really hard to get back to this level so I'm really happy. I'm of course hoping for the world gold medal this year, that would be amazig to have again."

 

* 1500m hommes : La soirée se termine en feu d'artifice avec un autre phénomène Norvégien nommé Jakob Ingebrigtsen. En grande forme, il prend la tête à 600m de l'arrivée et va accélérer l'allure jusqu'au bout. 

Sa dernière ligne droite, sensationnelle, lui permettra de battre son record, de signer un nouveau record d'Europe et la 6e meilleure performance mondiale de tous les temps en 3'27"95.

"Being out by myself, it was a good race. The race went as expected - running by myself as usual and the crowd was amazing - it was amazing to perform this way in front of my home crowd, it's a dream come true.

I won it last year but this year running in my main event is an incredibe experience. I know that I was able to run fast like in Paris - that's what it's all about - not what you do in training or so you're going to do but actually running fast in the races when it matters.

I 100% have more left in me. It's all abut consistency and delivering good performances in all of the races, I've done it before and we have it all under control. I just have to keep focused on each race ahead in the build u to Budapest, where it really matters."
