The Norwegian relay quartet of Henriette Jæger, Josefine Tomine Eriksen Aks, Lakeri Ertzgaard and Amalie Iuel will showcase their individual talents at Bislett Games. The team won gold in the 4x400m relay at the World Relays in Botswana on Sunday, setting a Norwegian record and world's best time of 3:20.97.

At the Diamond League event in Oslo, Jæger, Eriksen Aks and Ertzgaard will compete in the 400m, while Iuel will run the 400m hurdles.
