The Diamond League season continues as athletics’ world tour moves north for the fifth event of the season.

After a record breaking night in Paris, Oslo hosts the Bislett Games, held annually in the Norwegian capital since 1965, with a host of starts in action.

The home crowd will be hopeful of strong performances from Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who headlines an outstanding men’s 1500m field after smashing the two-mile record in France last week, and Karsten Warholm, with the hurdler looking to get back to his best after losing his world title last year.

The women’s 100 metres promises plenty, too, with the British trio of Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot and Darryl Neita all showing encouraging signs this season and looking to push Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson for the title.

Here’s everything you need to know.
