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.
Infield photo and photo-briefing:
The infield list for photographs will be published here on Wednesday June 11 at 23:00.

Meet in the press centre there.
