If you're already down to 4, and haven't mentioned GOAT Kenenisa Bekele despite him being #12 in seasonal form, you're not gonna mention him at all.
He wouldn't make top 4, though maybe he should for going 2:04 at the official age of 41, probably more like 51 IRL.
4th in Valencia, not a major. No other completed marathons, nowhere near a top 12 year. People only rave because of his previous career and he regained the O/40 WR. And he ran past Kibiwott near the end. His time only placed him 13th fastest for the year on a very flat course in great conditions
