While perusing this week's edition of RRW, I was surprised to see the 10th place male finisher listed as:
Asbel KIPROP, Elgeyo Marakwet, 29:11.0
Is that the former 1500 star? Or someone else with the same name
Does anyone know? Tilastapaja lists the results as being for the 2008 Olympic champion. World Athletics lists the results as being for a different person who also ran a 27:55 road 10k in South Aftica in July (no date of birth given).
Speaking of banned former 1500 champions, Elijah Manangoi said prior ot the Kenyan Trials he was looking forward to the xc trials. He ran on Kenya's mixed-gender realy in 2019 and wants to go back this year. I don't know how he did in the Trials as I only saw results for the 10k race and only 15 deep.
