• Report: From Haaland to Ingebrigtsen: Norway and the miracle of the country that does not allow children to compete until the age of 13

The athletics, the real one, will begin in August with the meetings of the Diamond League of Monaco and Stockholm, but while the fans are entertaining themselves with inventions, with substitutes, with rarities. This Thursday the 'Impossible Games' were held at the Bislett Stadium in Oslo and, broadcast on Facebook Live, left some more than interesting moments.

Local Karsten Warholm broke only the world record for a strange distance, the 300 meters hurdles, with an excellent time -33.78 seconds- and showed that, even with a confinement in between, he is one of the great athletes of the moment. His compatriot Jakob Ingebrigtsen also surpassed a record (4.50.01), the European of the 2,000 meters, which had Steve Cram (4.51: 39) in the distance duel with his brothers against the Kenyans Timothy Cheruiyot, Elijah Manangoi and Edwin Melly , who were running at the same time in Nairobi. And the phenomenon of the season until the coronavirus appeared, the Swedish Mondo Duplantis , won the pole vault (5.86 meters) to aRenaud Lavillenie who participated from the patio of his house in France.

The unprecedented distances and streaming duels may seem the most shocking of the event, but they were far from it. It was even rarer to see how gentlemen moved puppets in the stands, how they tested with a laser hare or how the hurdlers were made to run in alternate lanes to maintain the safety distance.

Also that five Norwegian athletes would decide to complete 25 kilometers on the track or that a long distance runner, also local Therese Johaug , ran absolutely 10,000 meters alone. In the end, despite Warholm, Ingebrigtsen and Duplantis, the feeling was increased by the feeling of emptiness that has lasted more than three months. The athletics, the real one, will begin in August with the meetings of the Diamond League of Monaco and Stockholm, but while you will have to entertain yourself.
