Is Sebastian Coe the only white distance runner in the top 10?

It's just ex runner trolling. In the mid 1970s there had only 2/3 Kenyans faster than Bayi over 800m, not his event, none faster over 1500m or the mile and in 1979 the 5000m season best was 13:12.29 to Mr Suleiman Nyambui (TAN). The "Tanzanians" was used ahead of the word "Ethiopians" in common running phrases back then to justify altitude training.

Shahanga won the Commonwealth games marathon, probably the 2nd biggest championship event in the 1970s.

In the 1970s, Tanzania has had two world class runners - but absolutely no other good runners behind them. (4 sub 4:15 male 1500m runners in 1978, for example). Kenya also was not close to the depth they have had in the last decades, but much better than Tanzania.

0/10, you missed Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Mo Farah.
