Seventh to finish should be Getaneh Molla, 26yo and ranked 47. Won Dubai last year in 2.03.34. Just needs to finish a second event to confirm the first. Has to get the runs on the board, to use cricketing parlance, even a 2.07. Also, has yet to break an hour for a half in seven attempts.
Well, he did finish this one, at least!

I don’t believe Teferi will be able to go with Tigist Girma when she puts the foot down.
This is a great sign for Senbere, after all your predictions are always way off lol. I don't think anyone will stand a chance vs Aiyabei however, her 2:19 (going out at WR pace and running huge parts of the race alone) in Frankfurt was way more impressive than anything the other women in the field have ever done, including Ruti Aga.
Chalk one up for me.

Ekiru and Jemeli coming up next for me, Teferi not in my top 5 women. Do you think Molla will actually commit and finish this time?
Titus Ekiru is 28yo and surprisingly in only ranked 67. That ranking will rocket up if he can run a low 2.03 and finish second here. Last April he won in Milan in 2.04.46 then beat Lawrence Cherono’s course record to win Honolulu in 2.08.00 in December. I ranked him just outside the world top 20 on those performances. Also won Honolulu the previous year 1.01 slower.
Dropped to 14th as early as 20k. Maybe he is closer to a 67 ranking than I thought.
