Yomif listed at 6 feet2 inches but only 128 pounds (1.86/58kg) Is he the skinniest world-class athlete? I suspect Mohammed of Canada has similar stats.
Both are ridiculously skinny but does not harm them in running. They are so thin that compared to normal humans their body shapes would be considered pathological. I haven’t checked but I suspect they are both under weight on the BMI scales. Curious than Ethiopia you have a lot of variation in body shapes in World class distance runners, from stocky runners like K.B. and others to people like Y.K.
