Well, with tubes there's nothing holding the girls up! LOL

I think Kukijen wears a normal kit (not necessarily super-cropped or even a regular tank), like a lot of pro runners.

Of course though, they have to put their bib on their sweaty chests...
I never pin my bib to my crop top singlet. Not because it's sweaty but because it's too bouncy. I'm 5-5 and 116 pounds and hardly what anyone would call "stacked", but I have enough moving around under my top that it bugs me to attach a stiff crinkly piece of paper to the outside. I always pin my number to my shorts (not bun huggers) after folding it up to make it as small as possible without folding the timing chip or hiding the number. That way I can start with an outer layer on top on cold days and ditch it midway without worrying about visibility of my race number.
I've never seen numbers attached anywhere but on top in track races, so I assume that's a requirement for pro runners in track races.
I dimly recall seeing a few elite men with midriff baring tops in track races in the early/mid 1990s. Back then they were relatively rare even for women.
(The one-piece swimsuit style was more popular for women for a while in that time but this has become quite rare; Pinto was wearing a similar one in the 100m in Birmingham today)
Kenyans are usually Christian and slightly more westernized than Ethiopians who are either their own kind of Christian or occasionally muslim. This may explain their choice of top/pants, or it may not (as Dibaba shows).
