The 2021 Bislett Games was the 56th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Oslo, Norway. Held on 1 July at Bislett Stadium, it was the fourth leg of the 2021 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.
The meeting was highlighted by hometown favorite Karsten Warholm running 46.70 seconds to break the 400 metres hurdles world record in the final event. It was Warholm's first world record, achieved in his season debut -- and he would go on to break it again by an even wider margin at the 2021 Summer Olympics final.[1]
Other highlights of the meet included Yomif Kejelcha running a 7:26 3000 metres and Stewart McSweyn beating Craig Mottram's Australian record in the mile with a 3:48.37 clocking.[2]
