Maybe the IAAF forced them to send actual juniors this year?
Thrilled to see that 2:04 guy didn't run the 10,000. A small step in the right direction.
Each federation is only allowed 2 starters.
Not doing well compared to what? Do they normally do well/care about at World Juniors? In the past have they ever cared about events below the 5000?
So....did they actually bring Juniors this time then?

They always do. This just happens to be in a shi*tty place they're not used to and the good ones are out running real races. Bring Americans to Addis Ababa and they will sh*t the f*cking bed.
Aside from some meager IAAF money, Ethiopia is not sitting on giant sacks of money for athletics. If the kid is really good, they go to Europe or much more likely, race the roads for serious cash, which is rather sensible.
The age cheating accusations gets boring. Let it go, sorry these kids don't have birthdate down to the nanosecond and kinda silly to expect them to look like Suzy Creamcheese.
World Juniors is a great meet but not really so much for the 10000m. I promise you there were five Ethiopians working harder on the hills and in the mud at 9000 feet today anyway.
Women just went 1-2 in the 5000m...............
And both were 32 seconds clear of the field.
