World’s best high jumper confirmed for Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics!

We are delighted to announce that the world’s best high jumper, Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim, is confirmed for Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics. Barshim is the current world leader who recently cleared 2.41m at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Eugene. Last year he achieved his best ever jump of 2.43m in Brussels so we can hope for a quality performance when he competes in the Stockholm Olympic Stadium on 30 July.

Stockholm’s IAAF Diamond League meeting enters into an exciting partnership with BAUHAUS!

Stockholm’s IAAF Diamond League meeting is entering into an exciting partnership with BAUHAUS, which means that, for the first time since 1967 the competition will change its name from DN Galan and will now be known as Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics.

DN Galan 2015 event schedule

DN Galan IAAF Diamond League meeting will take place on Thursday 30 July and the event schedule for the complete Diamond League series has just been announced. Amongst other events DN Galan will be staging a men’s long jump for top Swede, Michel Tornéus, and a women’s 3000m or 5000m which can include European 5000m Champion, Meraf Bahta.

World lead in 5000m – Third DN Galan 200m victory for Allyson Felix

12.832 spectators attended the 48th edition of DN Galan at Stockholm Olympic Stadium, which began with sunshine and 19 degrees celcius. The temperature then dropped but that did not prevent a new world lead of 12:54.83 in the 5000m by Ethiopia’s Muktar Edris. Michel Tornéus was the most successful Swede with 8.03m and a third place in the long jump while 200m winner, Allyson Felix and young Swedish sprinter, Irene Ekelund were the favourites with the autograph hunters.
