Then, a new world record in the women's 5000 metres was set by Elvan Abeylegesse. The stadium is also home to a world junior record, namely 83.87 metres by Andreas Thorkildsen in the men's javelin throw (June 2001).[1] The venue hosted the Norwegian Athletics Championships in 1969, 1975, 1991 and 2005.[2]
