I've just somehow noticed how skinny Asbel Kiprop is, even for a runner. I think his BMI is near anorexic.

Reported for body shaming.
Koko has to be in the discussion as well.
Not sure why mary cain is complaining about being skinny when there are runners skinnier than her
Yomif Kejelcha 6.2/128 - very similar BMI.
Yomif Kejelcha. The thin man.
Asbel Kiprop, 1.88/62 kg (6.3/137)

So, Kejelcha wins the low BMI contest!
Kiprop 6.3/137 =17.5 BMI
Kejelcha 6.2/128 = 16.8 BMI
Both these athletes would be considered “under nourished” and pretty drastically under weight by medical professionals.

And non-runners call Rudisha skinny...
In France BMI values have been revised to start at 20.0 compared to 18.5 in the past. Sub 18.5 BMI People like Kiprop and Kejelcha - would be considered freaks in most settings.

If anyone with a BMI over 20 is ever called skinny, they should clap back and tell that idiot to STFU. I've seen some runners around that 18.5 BMI threshold and they eat so much food but it isnreally a struggle for them just to even maintain their healthy weight. If a runner is truly anorexic, their performance would sharply decline due to being underweight and too weak.
Officially a 15.9 BMI for her btw.

What does this lady eat or not eat is the question? She has to be the thinnest athlete I’ve seen.

Koko has been discussed many times on this board. My conclusion is that she's simply a (naturally) thin person. Some people just are.
Having coached women for 20+ years, including some with eating disorders, and done a fair amount of research on the subject, I have concluded that a grown woman can be successful with an artificially-low weight for two years at most (more frequently just one, or none); "stuff" happens after that.
Koko, by contrast, has been at a very high level for several years.
