These are my “power rankings” for the top-10 marathoners in the world. I believe they are more accurate than the IAAF rankings.
1. Eliud Kipchoge
2. Lawrence Cherono
3. Mo Farah
4. Shura Kitata
5. Mosinet Geremew
6. Lelisa Desisa
7. Leule Gebrsellassie
8. Getaneh Molla
9. Marius Kipserem
10. Birhanu Legese
I intend to update my rankings after every WMM, world championship and Olympic marathon until the forum’s shut down or I die.
Next up, my #s 1, 3, 4, 5 & 7 will clash in London. Wilson Kipsang, Tamirat Tola, Mule Wasihun, Daniel Wanjiru & Abraham Kiptum will look to crack my list.
