Karsten Warholm gave the packed crowd at the 60th edition of the Bislett Games in Oslo the performance they craved in the latest&nbsp;Wanda Diamond League&nbsp;meeting as he set a 300m hurdles world best of 32.67, becoming the first athlete to better 33 seconds in this event.
It was the final event of a programme that had seen Mondo Duplantis set two meeting records in the men&rsquo;s pole vault, Kenya&rsquo;s Faith Cherotich set a women&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase meeting record and world lead of 9:02.60 and Emmanuel Wanyonyi, Isaac Nader and Nico Young earn stirring victories in, respectively, the men&rsquo;s 800m, mile and 5000m.
Racing against the US athlete who succeeded him as Olympic 400m hurdles champion last year, Rai Benjamin, Warholm offered ominous evidence of his 2025 prospects. The 29-year-old Norwegian athlete improved significantly upon the time of 33.05 he set at the Diamond League meeting in Xiamen earlier this year.
Benjamin, two lanes inside his rival in lane five, appeared to have the race in his grasp as he moved past Warholm into the final straight, but he faltered over the final 50 metres as the home athlete drove home remorselessly.
Benjamin nevertheless clocked a personal best of 33.22 in second place ahead of Brazil&rsquo;s 2022 world 400m hurdles champion Alison dos Santos, who recorded 33.38.
It was the first time that Warholm, Benjamin and Dos Santos had all met in this discipline; they now move on to the 400m hurdles at Sunday&rsquo;s Diamond League meeting in Stockholm.
&ldquo;The race went well although I was rather worried with how much Rai (Benjamin) was closing on me,&rdquo; Warholm said. &ldquo;But I knew I could push on over the last hurdle to home. I usually fade at the end of the 400 so the 300 suits me to some degree but I will be back strong in the 400 on Sunday.&rdquo;
A few minutes earlier, Duplantis earned his customary victory in the men&rsquo;s pole vault &ndash; taking his fifth Bislett Games title &ndash; before going on to set successive meeting records of 6.03m and 6.15m.
Sweden&rsquo;s double Olympic champion, unbeaten since the 2023 Monaco Diamond League meeting, thus improved his outdoor world lead of 6.11m set at the Shanghai Diamond League meeting &ndash; having set his 11th world record earlier his year by clearing 6.27m indoors.
Cherotich ran a coolly judged race, moving clear over the final lap to better the mark of 9:05.08 she set in winning at the Doha Diamond League ahead of Bahrain&rsquo;s Winfred Yavi, who also improved her season&rsquo;s best as she clocked 9:02.76.
Kenya&rsquo;s Wanyonyi, the Olympic 800m champion, earned a season&rsquo;s best of 1:42.78 under extreme pressure. Five metres clear at the bell, the 20-year-old began to look a touch desperate as the field closed on him at the start of the finishing straight.
Yet he would not, could not, be passed and held on to register the second fastest time of the season behind the 1.42.70 set by Botswana&rsquo;s Tshepiso Masalela at last month&rsquo;s Rabat Diamond League meeting, with Spain&rsquo;s Mohamed Attaoui second in 1:42.90 and Algeria&rsquo;s Olympic bronze medallist Djamel Sedjati third in 1:43.06.
Isaac Nader set a Portuguese record of 3:48.25 to win the first Dream Mile to be held in Oslo since 2022, finishing a couple of metres clear of a wide wave of talent from which Australia&rsquo;s 19-year-old Cameron Myers emerged to take second place in a personal best of 3:48.87.
Nico Young set a US outdoor 5000m record of 12:45.27 after a monumental race that produced eight other personal bests including two other national records.
While the touted joust at Joshua Cheptegei&rsquo;s 2020 world record of 12:35.36 did not come to pass, a hugely accomplished field produced a hugely competitive spectacle which ended with the 22-year-old moving past the Briton who led at the bell, George Mills, and pushing on for victory ahead of Ethiopians Biniam Mehary and Kuma Girma, who clocked personal bests of 12:45.93 and 12:46.41 respectively.
Mills was rewarded for his true grit with a British record of 12:46.59, eclipsing Mo Farah&rsquo;s 2011 mark of 12:53.11. Switzerland&rsquo;s Dominic Lobalu also set a national record, placing 10th in 12:50.87.
The first 100m of the season for Olympic champion Julien Alfred underlined her enduring power as, despite being beaten out of the blocks by the Ivory Coast&rsquo;s Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith, she won in 10.89, slowing over the final few metres.
Ta Lou-Smith was second in 11.00, with Britain&rsquo;s Dina Asher-Smith third in 11.08.
Isabella Whittaker of the United States won the women&rsquo;s 400m in 49.58 ahead of home runner Henriette Jaeger in a national record of 49.62 and Britain&rsquo;s Amber Anning, who clocked 50.24.
Dalilah Muhammad of the United States won the women&rsquo;s 400m hurdles in 53.34 from Slovakia&rsquo;s Emma Zapletalova (54.44). US heptathlete Anna Hall was going well until falling at the last hurdle &ndash; happily without serious harm.
Leyanis Perez Hernandez of Cuba managed only two scoring efforts in the women&rsquo;s triple jump but the second of them, 14.72m, was enough for victory ahead of Jamaica&rsquo;s Olympic silver medallist Shanieka Ricketts (14.57m).
The men&rsquo;s triple jump saw Jamaica&rsquo;s Jordan Scott earn a notable win over Portugal&rsquo;s 2021 Olympic champion Pedro Pichardo thanks to an opening personal best of 17.34m, with the latter athlete managing 17.06m.
Cuba&rsquo;s Reynier Mena won the men&rsquo;s 200m in 20.20 from Timothe Mumenthaler of Switzerland in a personal best of 20.27, with Canada&rsquo;s Tokyo 2020 champion Andre de Grasse third in 20.33.
Victory in the women&rsquo;s javelin went to Japan&rsquo;s Olympic champion Haruka Kitaguchi with a fifth-round best of 64.63m that took her past Serbia&rsquo;s Adriana Vilagos (63.78m).

Femke Bol delighted the home crowd with a dominant meeting record-breaking victory in the 400m hurdles, while Chase Jackson secured a statement shot put win at the FBK Games &ndash; a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting &ndash; in Hengelo on Monday (9).
World champion Bol maintained the momentum two weeks on from achieving her fastest ever 400m hurdles season opener in Rabat, finishing just 0.05 off the time she ran there to win in Hengelo in 52.51.
The 25-year-old is using a new technique out of the blocks this season and she got out fast. Gradually moving further away from her rivals, she eventually won by two seconds as Panama&rsquo;s Gianna Woodruff secured second place in 54.54.
&ldquo;I've done it &ndash; I've got the meeting record,&rdquo; said Bol, who improved her own record of 53.94 set in 2022. &ldquo;To be honest, I didn't really think about a specific time or anything before the race, but I really wanted to win here in front of the home crowd.&nbsp;
&ldquo;The first part (of the race) went really well, especially with the changes I've made recently. Obviously, I felt the pain and the lactate at the end of the race, but you just know that's coming. This result shows I'm on track. I ran faster than I usually do at this time of the year.&rdquo;
USA&rsquo;s two-time world shot put champion Jackson has also had a superb start to the season and she built on the outdoor world lead of 20.54m she set in Shanghai/Keqiao by going eight centimetres farther.

Even more impressively, she achieved that 20.62m throw in the first round of the competition, just two days on from competing in Taipei City where she also won with a throw beyond 20 metres. Including indoor meetings, the 30-year-old has surpassed the 20-metre mark in eight competitions this year and this latest winning throw is just 14 centimetres off her own national record set in Eugene in 2023.
Jackson also threw 20.05m in the fifth round in Hengelo and all of her other throws were 19.49m or beyond. Home star Jessica Schilder also bettered 20 metres, throwing 20.16m to finish second, while USA&rsquo;s Maggie Ewen was third with 19.48m.
Slovenia&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Kristjan Ceh claimed his fifth discus win in 16 days, throwing 69.21m to triumph in a battle against Olympic champion Roje Stona and Olympic bronze medallist Matthew Denny.
Ceh surpassed 67 metres with all four of his valid throws, achieving his winning mark in the third round and backing it up with 68.82m, 67.79m and 67.05m. Australia&rsquo;s Denny and Jamaica&rsquo;s Stona also went beyond the 67-metre mark, managing 67.64m and 67.17m to finish second and third, respectively &ndash; Stona in his first competition since September.
World leader Cordell Tinch returned to winning ways in the 110m hurdles, three days on from being beaten by just thousandths of a second in Rome. This time the US athlete, who moved to equal fourth on the world all-time list with 12.87 earlier in the season, clocked 13.10 (0.0m/s). His compatriot Dylan Beard had him under some pressure but suffered a fall after hitting the final hurdle and Jamaica&rsquo;s Omar McLeod clinched the runner-up spot in 13.42.
Home favourite Nadine Visser dipped to victory in the 100m hurdles, clocking 12.59 (1.0m/s) to win ahead of South Africa&rsquo;s Marione Fourie, who launched herself over the finish line and finished just 0.01 back. Pia Skrzyszowska was third in 12.77.
Uganda&rsquo;s Tokyo Olympic gold medallist Peruth Chemutai cruised to a dominant win in the 3000m steeplechase. She started fast, covering the first 1000m in 2:57.94, before reaching the 2000m mark in 6:03.33 and going on to win by more than 13 seconds in 9:07.79. Ethiopia&rsquo;s Wosane Asefa followed her over the finish line to secure second place in a PB of 9:20.83.
Mark English improved his own Irish 800m record for the second time this season, going sub-1:44 for the first time with 1:43.92 to win after a strong kick down the home straight. France&rsquo;s Yanis Meziane was second in 1:44.32 and Australia&rsquo;s Peyton Craig was third in 1:44.32, while 19-year-old Jakub Dudycha improved his own Czech record to 1:44.78 in fourth place.

Jonas Phijffers improved the Dutch U23 record in front of a delighted home crowd to win the 400m, dipping under 45 seconds for the first time with 44.93 to deny Brazil&rsquo;s Matheus Lima (45.21). Botswana&rsquo;s Olympic 4x400m silver medallist Busang Kebinatshipi pulled up and did not finish.
There was another home win in the men&rsquo;s 100m, Elvis Afrifa dipping to victory in 10.25 (-1.0m/s) ahead of South Africa&rsquo;s Benjamin Richardson (10.28) and Sweden&rsquo;s Henrik Larsson (10.29). USA&rsquo;s Anavia Battle cruised to a comfortable win in the 200m, clocking 22.75 (-0.5m/s) to maintain her win streak in individual events in 2025.
Ana&iuml;s Bourgoin of France found a gap on the inside to beat Botswana&rsquo;s Oratile Nowe in the 800m. Nowe was to the fore once the pacemaker stepped aside but Bourgoin timed her finishing kick to perfection, taking advantage of the space on Nowe&rsquo;s left to win in 1:59.53. Nowe was second in 1:59.58 and USA&rsquo;s Sage Hurta-Klecker was third in 1:59.77.
USA&rsquo;s multiple global medallist Chris Nilsen cleared 5.82m on his third attempt to win the pole vault ahead of his compatriot KC Lightfoot (5.74m), while Australia&rsquo;s two-time world indoor champion Nicola Olyslagers won the high jump, clearing 1.93m to clinch her victory before managing 1.97m on her second try.&nbsp;
Portugal&rsquo;s Gerson Balde, fresh from a PB of 8.20m at the end of last month, this time managed 8.07m (0.2m/s) to win the long jump ahead of Australia&rsquo;s Liam Adcock, who jumped 8.34m to win three days ago in Rome and jumped 7.97m (0.5m/s) in Hengelo.

China&rsquo;s Zhang Jiale threw 75.14m* to break the world U20 hammer record at the Sparkassen Hammerwurf-Meeting, a World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger event, in Fr&auml;nkisch-Crumbach, Germany, on Sunday (8).
The 18-year-old, who won the world U20 title in Lima last year, beat the previous world U20 record of 73.43m set by the 2021 world U20 champion Silja Kosonen of Finland in Vaasa in 2021.
As well as adding 1.71m to the previous world U20 record, Zhang improved her own previous best achieved in April by almost three metres to finish second in a competition won by her compatriot Zhao Jie, the Olympic bronze medallist.
Zhang&rsquo;s record-breaking throw came in the second round of the competition and she backed it up with marks of 71.56m, 70.61m and 69.62m.
Zhao won with a PB of 76.60m from the third round and all five of her valid attempts surpassed 75 metres &ndash; her series also including throws of 76.11m, 75.99m, 75.34m and 75.04m.
Great Britain&rsquo;s Anna Purchase was third with 71.77m.
Germany&rsquo;s Merlin Hummel won the men&rsquo;s competition with a PB of 81.23m.
