I just called my bookie (without telling him the title of this thread) and this is what he said:

Evans Chebet is a good runner, but far from a Titan. As far as distance runners, I think you could argue that Kipchoge is the only real Titan, it's definitely not him. So, you're looking at Bekele, Hassan or Farah, and then maybe you could lump in Gidey (not her based on her running Valencia), Cheptegei and Jakob in a secondary tier. I'd say calling the third tier down with the likes of Genzebe Dibaba, Brigid Kosgei, Jacob Kiplimo, Selemon Barega, Muktar Edris (just noting he has to be 5+ years older than listed), Geoffrey Kamworor, Kibiwott Kandie, Y-squared, Tim Cheruiyot, Gudaf Tsegay, Conseslus Kipruto or Peres Jepchirchir Titans would be a hyperbolic stretch for the OP. You can't invoke Lance Armstrong and then throw in these type names.

Post #2 in the thread about Kenya potentially being banned suggesting Kipchoge. Looking less likely there is anything to this with his Boston announcement today. Who knows.

How is Any One, Kenyan missing from that list?
Too many candidates. You’d win 10 cents on a 10 dollar bet.
