Latest top ten for men in 2022?
Kipchoge, Chebet. who next?

Surprisingly easy to choose ten in order now if everyone accepts a few facts.

Kipchoge is still number one until someone as quick as him beats him head-to-head.

He has been undisputed as current number one the last five years.

Two blips among his last ten wins doesn’t give anyone else fuel to be considered better.

His plan of winning all the majors and a third Olympics may have been a stretch too far.

So with those qualifiers,

1.Kipchoge

2.Kiptum

3. E. Chebet

4. B.Abdi

5. G.Geay

6. B.Kipruto

7. T.Tola

8. S.Tura

9. Leul G.

10. Kamworor

What they all do next, of course, can change things. Will any run Worlds?

Will all run any one of Berlin, Chicago, New York, and Valencia?

Are any of the five who finished ahead of him as quick as him at any other marathon location?

re: theRanMan

After the past few weeks I think you've got to put Kiptum as #1 right now. Kiptum's best is basically equal to Kipchoge's best; a 2:01:25 on London vs a 2:01:09 on Berlin.

But then Kiptum did that 'now', Kipchoge did it 7.5 months ago and had a not so great marathon 'now'. If Kiptum and Kipchoge were to lie up against each other next Fall I think I'd have Kiptum as the favorite. And Evans Chebet is definitely in the conversation of top 5 at this point, beating a lot of top runners over his last few marathons.

Bring on the fall marathons. Do any two of this top 3 compete then?

After Worlds now, do you bring the gold medallist into this ten?

I think it would be fair to put a World champ in top10.. Just based on current shape. But again Kamworer ran 2:04 in London, so he is also hard to cut.

re: Rankerchief

This is what it has come to for American LDR:" He ran great, he moved up to 11th.."

The culture has to change. Not enough young kids are interestd in running long distance.

It is never going to change unless the culture of LDR changes.
