The 2026 Wanda Diamond League continues its European swing with one of the sport’s most celebrated meetings as the Bislett Games in Oslo welcomes a star-studded field on June 10. From Olympic champions to record-breakers and teenage sensations, the Norwegian capital is set to host a memorable evening of world-class athletics.
Leading the cast is Olympic sprint champion Julien Alfred, who continues her impressive rise as one of the fastest women in the world. The Saint Lucian star will be among the headline attractions in a meeting packed with elite performers across track and field events.
Home fans, however, will have their eyes firmly fixed on Karsten Warholm. The Norwegian hurdling superstar returns to his favourite stage, where he has repeatedly delivered historic performances. Warholm’s remarkable world-best run in the 300m hurdles at Oslo in recent years has only strengthened his reputation as one of the meeting’s biggest crowd-pullers.
Another athlete attracting global attention is Australian teenager Gout Gout, whose rapid progression has made him one of the most exciting young talents in athletics. The sprint prodigy will face another major test against international competition as he continues his development on the Diamond League circuit.
