I don't know without looking it up. I would like to have seen one or two other of the top women, Teferi, Tsegay, Hassan, Chebet, and from a British perspective, McColgan who was 9th quickest in the world last year. This is the first 5k of the DL after all
I think 5000 suits niyonsaba and fantu worku less than last week but I can still see 7 or 8 under 14.43 here. I call that deep. The girl with the WL at the half will be better suited here and if conditions are better could be very quick
I hope so. Conditions look good, 17C, 10mph wind, low humidity. I still think this will be a dominant win for Niyonsaba. Her strength over the 10k in her first year in the event was impressive, and she carries her mid-d speed. I wouldn't be surprised to see her run sub 14:15 this year
