The key thing for me is that I am injury-free and I see I am making progress. I have good memories from Oslo \u2013 although the weather last year wasn\u2019t so great the crowd was spectacular. And that\u2019s always a wonderful thing for me\u201d, Bolt complimented the Norwegian fans.<\/p>\n<p>For him it\u2019s the second time at the Bislett Games, for Powell on the other side it\u2019s the fifth start in Oslo. \u201cI think I need a Norwegian passport now\u201d, Powell joked at the press conference under the Strawberry Party. \u201cTo be honest, it\u2019s a good feeling to come back here. It\u2019s always fantastic in Oslo so I am quite motivated. I\u2019m in a good shape but haven\u2019t been able to get it together yet. For all of us the Bislett Games are a very important step before the Olympics and I really hope the put me in a good state of mind!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An evaluation Bolt seconded right away: \u201cThat\u2019s definitively true for me as well. I came to Europe to run more races and do some more analyzing so that my coach can get me ready for London! My season so far has been much better. Last year it was more of an up-and-down but this one has been quite consistent. I hope it stays like that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite their big Olympic goal this season the Bislett Games are more than just a \u201csmall step\u201d for them. Both are looking forward on competing once again against each other. The aim is clearly the same: \u201cRun faster than the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simple as that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The path to success? &#8220;Run faster than the other!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is THE event of this...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-1013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-oslo"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1013\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1013"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oslo.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=1013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
