The Diamond League serves up its first double-header of 2025 this week beginning with the Bislett Games in Olso, Norway. It'll feature a long-rumored men's 5000m world record attempt that has been marred in drama since its grand reveal. Can the likes of Hagos Gebrhiwet challenge the WR, or will Nico Young surprise and take Grant Fisher's American record along with him? And in the sprints, can Olympic champ Julien Alfred put down a mark to demonstrate why she should be the favorite in Tokyo?

You can enter the Wanda Fantasy Diamond League contest for Oslo by 1:15 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Thursday to compete against other predictors and see who knows best.

US Audiences can watch the Oslo Bislett Games Diamond League Meeting LIVE on FloTrack.

Women's triple jump (1:15pm ET): 3x runner-up Ricketts is starting her season golden

Always the bridesmaid, but never the bride. Shanieka Ricketts has won a surprising three global silver medals in the last six years, but has yet to win that elusive global gold. That may change in 2025, as she's gone undefeated on the year and beat her two biggest rivals (Olympic champ Thea LaFond and 2025 World Indoor champ Leyanis Pérez Hernández) handily in Rome. All three will be back for an Oslo re-match

American Jasmine Moore was 5th at the Golden Gala. She'll be looking for any sort of improvement, but she always has the long jump to fall back on if things go south.

Men's pole vault (1:20pm ET): Mondo jumps for the first time since his Chinese tour

In no other event in our sport has dominance been displayed like Mondo does over the pole vault. He's not shy of competing, and any time his name is on a startlist fans know that his own world record, improved 11 times now, will be in play. Oslo will be his first outing in over a month since the Chinese Diamond Leagues, adding a touch of mystery.

His greatest rival would probably be Emmanouil Karalis of Greece, who won bronze at the Olympics but improved to silver at World Indoors where he seemed to have challenged Mondo if only briefly. American veteran Sam Kendricks can maneuver over the bar like nobody else despite his age, while former world record-holder Renaud Lavillenie of France will add to the stardom. And look out for hometown hero Sondre Guttormsen, 2022 NCAA champ for Princeton.

Women's javelin (1:53pm ET): Elina Tzengko's fairy-tale year continues

She's never won a global senior medal and was only 9th at the Olympics, but Greece's Elina Tzengko certainly isn't acting like it this year. Save a 4th at the European Throwing Cup in March, she's won all five of her other competitions this year, including the Shanghai, Xiamen, and Rabat Diamond Leagues. All this despite having a 65.81m PB -- the second-worst in the field at Oslo.

She'll be challenged by the woman who placed 8 spots ahead of her to win Olympic gold, Haruka Kitaguchi, and the '23 Worlds bronze medallist Mackenzie Little. Norwegian hope Sigrid Borge won the silver medal at the European Throwing Cup this year ahead of Tzengko.

Women's 400m (2:04pm ET): Adeleke makes her 400m season debut

Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke, an NCAA star for Texas, finished a bittersweet 4th at the Paris Olympics  and will be running her first 400m since that year in Oslo. With none of the Paris medalists here, she should be favored but Lieke Klaver and World Indoors gold medalist Amber Anning (ran for Arkansas, representing GBR) could snatch a win in Norway as well.

Bella Whittaker of Penn and Arkansas will represent the US, and she's coming off a breakthrough indoor season running a #2 all-time 49.24 second time at NCAAs though she hasn't displayed that dominance at the Grand Slam Track meets she's contested so far. Norway's Henriette Jæger shocked to win bronze at World Indoors and could make the Oslo crowd proud.

Men's 800m (2:19pm ET): A stacked race with four at 1:42.0 or faster

After a prolonged lull, 2024 was certainly the year of the men's 800m. And no man is more responsible for the slew of PRs, NRs, and 1:41s than Emmanuel Wanyonyi, the Olympic champ who found a way to win the Diamond Leagues he entered no matter the time.

Him and three other beneficiaries of that year will fight in Djamel Sedjati (1:41.4 PB), Gabriel Tual (1:41.6), and Mohamed Attaoui (1:42.0). The Algerian Sedjati is the most interesting of the bunch, because this Thursday will mark his first race of 2025 since his Olympic bronze and second since his subsequent anti-doping raid by French police. 

Women's 3000m steeplechase (2:26pm ET): Yavi-slayer Faith Cherotich will rematch the Olympic champ

Faith Cherotich did what few thought was possible at the Doha Diamond League to out-kick the Olympic champ Winfred Yavi and win in 9:05. They'll rematch in Oslo and the time just might be even faster as the season has progressed.

Four Americans adorn the startlists, comprising of 1/4th the entire field as of writing. They're led by Val Constien, who impressively won the Olympic trials in 9:03 but was only 10th in Doha in her only steeple this year. With Constien uncertain, look for her Olympic teammate Courtney Wayment to impress or 2022 NACAC champ Gabrielle Jennings. Olivia Markezich rounds out the U.S. contingent as an NCAA force for Notre Dame who nearly made the Paris Olympic team before a fall on the final barrier at the Trials.

Men's triple jump (2:41pm ET): Triple-P won in Shanghai and should win again

Portugal's Pedro Pablo Pichardo pounded the track three times just right in Shanghai to win his only competition this year. The '21 gold and '24 silver medalist, he'll be favored in Oslo against '21 bronze medalist Hugues Fabrice Zango. 

NCAA champ and Miami star Russell Robinson will represent the US following an 8th-place finish at World Indoors this year. Henrik Flåtnes, the host entry, was a European under-23 champ two years ago.

Men's 200m (2:42pm ET): de Grasse can act like an Olympic champ by winning

Candada's Andre de Grasse is the only entrant with an individual Olympic gold to his name, but victory in Oslo for him is far from certain following 4th and 5th place finishes at the Philadelphia Slam. It's hard to pin down who might pose his biggest challenge, which might come from Reynier Mena or the slow-starting, fast-closing Joseph Fahnbulleh. 

U.S. relay mainstays Kyree King and Vernon Norwood will challenge as well, though Norwood is more known for the 400m. King was 8th and 6th in his Rabat DL 100m/200m double.

Men's Dream Mile (2:56pm ET): The Dream Mile is back for the first time since 2022

Oslo's Dream Mile is, perhaps only behind the Bowerman Mile, the most premier mile race on the professional circuit with a reputation going back to 1974. After being replaced with a 1500m in 2023 and 2024, it's back to the imperial distance in 2025 with a strong field of Olympic contenders.

The strongest has got to be 2019 World champ Timothy Cheruiyot, who after a lull has improved markedly the last two years and nearly won the Rome DL. Narve Nordas nearly beat his countryman Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win World bronze in 2023 and will be running his first Diamond League of the year. (Jakob  was originally set to run the 5K but is absent recovering from injury.) 

America is represented by Vincent Ciattei, who was also the sole U.S. rep in Rome. He ran a 3:31 PB there -- what could be a winning time at many DLs -- but only finished 12th in a historically deep field. Those on phenom watch should take a close look at Cam Myers, who shattered the world U20 indoor mile record at Millrose running 3:47 this year.

Women's 100m (3:06pm ET): Olympic champ Julien Alfred is undefeated on the year and will face her toughest test

Julien Alfred won St. Lucia's first-ever Olympic gold in Paris in an unexpected upset over Sha'Carri Richardson. She's won all five of her races this year but hasn't faced a Diamond League field yet. Though Richardson is missing, Marie-Josée Ta Lou-Smith was 3rd in Rome and has a 10+ year record of showing up at big meets.

British star Dina Asher-Smith has also tasted global gold with her 2019 200m win, and she'll be joined by compatriot Daryll Neita. With the Tokyo World Championships women's 100m scene still yet to be determined, Alfred will be hoping her competition can push her to a season-best to cement her position as the favorite.

Men's 5000m (3:14pm ET): Can Gebrhiwet or Kejelcha save this world record attempt?

Originally set to be a world record attempt with the likes of Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Berihu Aregawi, bad news has beset the Bislett Gaemes as both entrants had to withdraw (in Jakob's case due to an Achilles injury he's been nursing).

But the record chase was never called off, and a host of competitors are still signed up with the intention of attacking Joshua Cheptegei's 12:35 mark from 2020. Leading them is Hagos Gebrhiwet, who is something of an enigma with sporadic flashes of brilliance since his world U20 XC victory and senior silver medal in 2013. We saw some of that last year, when he won this very meet in a 12:36.73 time that broke Kenenisa Bekele's national record. However, he missed out on the Miami and Philly Grand Slam races despite signing as a Racer and hasn't raced since the first Slam in Jamaica (where he won the 3K).

Yomif Kejelcha is the only other sub-12:40 performer, which he also achieved last year just behind Gebrhiwet. He's a two-time World Indoor 3K champ and has the wheels to close hard as the former indoor mile world record-holder. Others like Kuma Girma (runner-up in Shanghai) could surprise by hanging back and taking advantage of the fight ahead.

There's an unusually strong American contingent behind chasing Grant Fisher's 12:44 national record, set indoors this year. Though Cooper Teare is the only one to have broken 13 outdoors, eyes will be on Philly Slam champion Nico Young who ran 12:51 on the Boston indoor track in March. Should he make it to the end on NR pace, he'll have a fair chance of winning the race outright. Fellow NCAA champ Graham Blanks, who also broke 13 minutes indoors (representing Harvard), will be making his outdoor season debut over the distance following a sub-27 10K at The Ten in March.

Women's 400m hurdles (3:36pm ET): Salmon favored, but Hall a huge wildcard

With Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol all but assured the top two spots, a host of women will fight to determine who is most likely to win the final 400mH medal at Worlds. Jamaica's Shiann Salmon has been solid this year with 4th-place finishes at the Kingston and Miami Slams. Dalilah Muhummad has the most experience as the '16 and '19 World champ and as 2025 will be her final season she's got nothing to lose.

But the biggest wildcard will be Anna Hall, the heptathlete who just set a personal-best and put up 7032 points to rank #2 all-time at the Hypo-Meeting this month. She can hold her own against non-multi competitors as well, with a U.S. indoor 400m title under her belt and a 50.82 flat PB combined with a monster 2:01 800m best to close out her heptathlon in Gotzis. Her hurdles PB is 'only' 54.42, but that didn't stop her from placing 3rd at the Miami Slam and she could challenge.

Hall isn't the only multi-event athlete represented. The host nation sends Amalie Iuel, a fellow pentathlete for USC who was 3rd at NCAAs in both the pentathlon and 400mH, and Andrea Rooth, cousin of 2024 Olympic decathlon champ Markus Rooth.

Men's 300m hurdles (3:53pm ET): The Big Three are all here in a mad dash for Warholm's record

With the 300m hurdles becoming an 'official' world-record eligible event this year, interest in it at the professional level has risen substantially. It all started at the Xiamen Diamond League, where Warholm bettered his own world record to win in 33.05 seconds. That time will be the mark to beat for Warholm in front of his home crowd as a rare meeting of the Big Three of hurdling commences.

It's a special treat to see '24 Olympic champ Rai Benjamin and '23 World champ Alison dos Santos join Warholm in Oslo -- they famously swept the medals at the historic '21 Olympics 45.94-second race with Warholm winning.

Challengers are led by Trevor Bassitt, who won the Philadelphia Slam series in an upset over dos Santos though dos Santos won the hurdles race against Bassitt. Also watch for Matheus Lima of Brazil, who finished runner-up at Warholm's world record race in Xiamen.
