There may be a delay in this after 13 profiles in about a fortnight. I have 8 men’s names and six women, hoping for a fuller list before then to complete this. The men’s side is surely a race in two: and for me it’s Eth v Ken, not the Swiss. Both top 40, all-time.
Loser in that battle of the Rift Valley is Andamlak Belihu, 21yo and ranked 5. Ninth last week in Houston in 59.52: being in the lead pack of ten at 15k; but losing touch with the top six by 15k, 13 seconds adrift. Ran fifth over 10000 on the track at the World Champs in October. Two weeks later, won the half in Delhi in 59.10 after also winning over 10k in Bangalore in May in 27.56.
