BAUHAUS-galan

BAUHAUS-galan, formerly known as DN-Galan is an annual, international athletics meeting that takes place at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm.[3] Previously it was one of the five IAAF Super Grand Prix events until 2010, and has since been part of the Diamond League circuit. It was first organized in 1967.

Having been known as the DN-Galan since its first edition, a title sponsor deal with DIY company Bauhaus led to a rebranding of the event in 2015, following a period of financial instability for the organisers.[4]

Since 1967, the Dicksonpokalen (Dickson Trophy) is awarded to the winner of the men's 1500 metres or mile run at the competition.[5]

History

After the 2019 season concluded the BAUHAUS-galan was announced to be separating from the professional Diamond League circuit of one-day meets.[6] However, the meet was readmitted into the circuit and included in the Diamond League's 2020 calendar announcement.[7]

World records

Over the course of its history, numerous world records have been set at the meet.

Notes
  1. Kipketer equalled the record set by Sebastian Coe in 1981.
gollark: Mine has a horribly degraded battery, so while it technically shuts off at 1% it goes to that way faster than it should.
gollark: In any case, my application seems to be dealing okay with the increased database volume, searches still only take a few milliseconds.
gollark: Yes, I would use it if I had different requirements.
gollark: What about it?
gollark: Also actually supported.
