Athletics is back! On Thursday, some of track and field’s biggest global stars will take part in the Impossible Games in Oslo in the first live athletics meeting of the summer.
Highlights on the programme include a 400m hurdles world champion Karsten Warholm is set to attempt a world record over 300m hurdles, and a virtual pole vault showdown between world record holder Mondo Duplantis and Diamond League record champion Renaud Lavillenie.
Norway’s Ingebrigtsen brothers, meanwhile, are set to go head to head in a cross-continent 2000m showdown with a Kenyan team led by 1500m world champion Timothy Cheruiyot.
Every event will take place in observation of Norway’s coronavirus and social distancing regulations, meaning there will be some innovative formats on show.
The Impossible Games will be broadcast on TV in over 100 countries, and also live streamed on the Wanda Diamond League Facebook and YouTube channels in certain regions.
