They don’t take it seriously. It’s more of a cold weather sport.
Indoor is a joke to everyone bar USA. The USA is a joke to everyone. This site is filled to the brim by USA people shoving their agenda down our throats. No one cares about your domestic athletics, indoors or grand slam track.
Americans are totally blind to the fact they and their culture are hated by the rest of the world. Sad to see a once great nation collapse over the last 20 years
Ethiopians have more visa restrictions yet they’re all over Europe completely in gold and silver indoor races. Meanwhile the Kenyans are nowhere to be found hiding for most of the year even though they constant cry about needing to race to make a living.
Much the same applies to Ethiopian athletes, but they've been winning medals at world indoors regularly. (Although one just retrospective very canned and her medal awarded to the athlete who finished behind her, Georgia Hunter-Bell).

That only applies to their women/the Tsegay group. Now everyone has moved to the roads/XC in Aregawi, Barega, Mehary, Gebrhiwet.
It’s as if nobody cares about World Indoors. I wonder if they will do something like Florida did, and put cute little fake alligators out on the course?

Which explains why most are running on the roads and XC?
Like most of the respondents on this thread, I'm shocked by the embarrassingly provincial view expressed by one of the cofounders of this site.
In addition to what others have mentioned, I want to note that the rainy season in Kenya has already started. That's always played an important role in Kenyan training and racing schedules. It's not just a minor inconvenience. There are landslides, floods, significant casualties, and serious challenges for agricultural communities.
