The 2023 Bislett Games was the 58th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Oslo, Norway. Held on 15 June at Bislett Stadium, it was the sixth leg of the 2023 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.
The highlight of the meeting was the men's 5000 metres, where Jacob Kiplimo and Yomif Kejelcha battled to the line in a photo finish with both runners being awarded a time of 12:41.73 seconds, but Kejelcha being deemed the winner. It was the first time in history that any person had ever run under 12:45 in the 5000 m while still being contested at the finish by another competitor.[1] Reigning Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen set a personal best in the 1500 metres, running under 3:28 for the first time.[1]
Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Eugene. First place earned eight points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in ninth place or lower.[2]
