The u20 World XC champion Marta Alemayo just ran 15:14 to win at the Kip Keino Classic. So what?

-According to her official D.O.B. she just turned 16, and she has no results listed prior to this year. Even if you insist her age is fudged it’s highly likely she’s very young and raw.

-Nairobi is at 5800 feet. The stadium may be a little lower but still easily over 5000’. Even though Alemayo would be well acclimated, it’s still going to affect her time significantly. Way under 15’ at sea level.

-She beat Margaret Kipkemboi by 5 seconds. Kipkemboi ran 14:23 last year and was 4th in the 5k in Budapest, and just placed 3rd in the senior race at World XC so she’s in good form.

Remember her name. She could be the next in the line of record setting Ethiopian women.

It was impressive and after she reached 5000m...she kept running an extra 200 meters which was rather unusual, I guess she'd never raced a 5000 before

Ethiopian women need to get going and dominate every race from 800 through marathon. Other than Kipyegon and Beatrice Chepkoech I get very annoyed when a non-Ethiopian places in the top 3.

- Barega ranked 5 at the 5000m WC 2017

run 12 sec 43 at the age 17

- Ermias Girma

Started like a young prodigy 2 years before

but now he look like blocked in 3:36 in the 1500m

In my opinion the real talents appear at the age 21+ and often they are unpredictable.

The Women's 1500 could be the next event dominated by Ethiopian Women, Kenya and Ethiopia basically Dominate the Men's and Womem's 3000, 5000, 10000, Half Marathon and Marathon. 1500 for Women could be next, The Ethiopian Women already have 9 Women under 4 Minutes in the 1500 This Season if you count Indoor Resiults, Kenya has The Mens and to a lesser extent Women's Steeple, and Kenya dominates the Mens 800, so lets hope The Ethiopian Women can do well in the 800 they have the Current Indoor World Champion, but they have never had a sub 1:56 800 runner, but hopefully they learn how to do well in the event, There will always be great distance runners who are not from Kenya or Ethiopia, Like Jakob Ingebrigsten, Grant Fisher, Mo Farah,Yared Neguse, Athing Mu, Keely Hodgekinson, Laura Muir, Sifan Hassan doing great things, it just more interesting with a formidable Country that is hard to beat depthwise.

Nuguse and Hassan are basically "Ethiopian" dude.

What has the name Fisher to do here. For now he is just a time trialer.

Ethiopian basically suffer from bad management from their federations.

We have always said this.

With pen and paper they can place world beaters from 800m to marathon. Same as Kenyan or Ugandan. But the sub-development is playing his part.

Nuguse is Born and Raised in Kentucky USA, Hassan was born in Ethiopia, but did not become a competitive runner until years after she came to the Netherlands.

Fisher has run 7:25 for 3000, 12:46 for 5000 and 26:33 for 10000 those are very legitimate good times.
