Shumi Dechasa (Bahrain/Ethiopia) is a complete marathon specialist with very few track times on record except for 757 3000 m dating back almost 10 years ago. Ultra consistent in the marathon. Runs under the colors of Bahrain but presumably does not spend much time there as the climate is not conducive to distance running in that location. I spent 7 years in Saudi Arabia, Al Khobar, next door, and confirm this.
