Just from their 2023 results. One each day, starting with the 12th lady. It’s more about who missed the cut: no Kosgei, Ayana, Lokedi, Gotytom, or Salpeter. Even though up to 3 of them could all run in the Paris Olympics
Twelfth above them all just on 2023 performances is Sheila Chepkirui. Tenth fastest time this year when second in Berlin and beaten by three of the best and ahead of the defending champion when fourth in London.

Next female is Yalemzerf Yehualaw. After winning London last year in her second attempt at this classic distance, getting over falling on a speed bump, I said she would never again be beaten by any woman YY beat that day. And it was a group of legends that she finished ahead of. This year has failed to consolidate on that extraordinary win. Went back there to finish fifth and ended Worlds in that same position and needed help as she finished.

Kosgei making a DESPERATE attempt to make the Olympic team and this countdown. Abu Dhabi in four days. Will need sub 2.16?

Gatekeeper to my end-of-year top ten is Letesenbet Gidey. One marathon while she is still fluctuating between road and track. That was second in New York
