Flash quotes:
Mixed zone day of competition:
As Oslo Bislett Games is a late evening meeting, and a lot of the athletes are travelling to Stockholm on Friday morning, athletes can decide to spend a maximum of 20 minutes in mixed zone (after leaving RH-area). But it is up to one and each if they want to spend more time. Therefore, media representatives in categories WP, NRH and CC cannot expect to get 1:1 if the athlete wants a fast track. Then it will be like in championships when those who want to get comments make clusters.
RH = Right Holders. WP = Written Press. NRH = Non Right Holders. CC = Content Creators.
NEW in 2025:
To improve the working conditions for media, based on feedback from all parts, we have decided to introduce restrictions on the number of accreditations as well as moving the mixed zone for NRH and CC.
NRH = Non Right Holders. CC = Content Creators.
Infield photo and photo-briefing:
The infield list for photographs will be published here on Wednesday June 11 at 23:00.
These must attend a MANDATORY photo-briefing on Thursday 17:00 TBC at Bislett Stadion to receive an infield vest.
Meet in the press centre there.
Others:
There will be a Sony Imaging Pro Support at the press centre at Bislett on Thursday June 12.
