Muir upstages Mutaz on Bislett’s 50th Anniversary night in the Diamond League

On a special night that was supposed to belong to established names such as Mutaz Essa Barshim, Bohdan Bondarenko and Genzebe Dibaba, the 50th Anniversary running of the Bislett Games - watched by illustrious past performers such as John Walker, Ingrid Kristiansen, Roger Moens, Henry Rono, Sebastian Coe and Steve Cram - will be remembered instead for three unlikely victors in Britain’s 1500 metres runner Laura Muir, China’s high jumper Guowei Zhang and Israeli javelin thrower Marharyata Dorozhon.
