Dream Mile (Bislett)
The Dream Mile was and is an annual mile race run at the Bislett Stadium, Oslo as part of the Bislett Games, one of the meetings of the IAAF Diamond League athletics competition. This annual event was interrupted in 2004 for the rebuilding of the Bislett Stadion, replacing a six-lane track with sharp bends and steep terraces with a conventional eight-lane track and seating. In 1980, the world mile record was set in this race by Steve Ovett, and in 1985 Steve Cram also set a new world mile record.
