One of the most famous track meets in the world, the Bislett Games, takes place this evening (local time) in Oslo, Norway. The meet features what is annually billed as the "Dream Mile" with many of the top middle distance runners in the world.
This year the buzz centers around Kenya's Augustine Kiprono Choge, who ran 3:29.47 for 1500m in Berlin earlier this year, best in the world for 2009.
You can watch the dream mile live on Universal Sports.Com at 2 p.m. Eastern time.
Here's the start list for the race:
Cliff Bargar
Mike Burnstein
Matias Carrasco
Dan Chebot
Scott Cole
Sam Donovan
Ben Finch
Noah Jampol
Alex Long
...
Oops, my bad, those guys are just a few of the NSRP regulars who meet at Cold Spring Park on Mondays and Wednesdays (meet at 6:15, run at 6:30). It WOULD be a sweet mile, though, wouldn't it?
