Gidey debuts in Valencia and within ten days we should see her competitors there. At another website, I have listed 14 I think could be brave and rested enough to step up to the challenge. Some have yet to compete in this second half of the year, others have had a DNS or a DNF. If they are not injured, they could be heading for Spain?

Originally posted by Aussiestatman View PostAfter Worlds, there are 4 potentially very quick marathons in the second half of the year. Berlin, London, Chicago, and Valencia. Kosgei has the WL now, but I believe 3 or 4 times could usurp it by years end. Gidey is the obvious one in Valencia, but Brigid herself may go again, and YY may take more minutes off her debut. A fourth sub 2.16 might come from Bekere or Dereje.

Of course changes are needed after this week. I would still start with Ruth and YY but include Obiri before Assefa and Peres. A full ten soon. It’s not usually my practice to include a woman after a debut but Hassan was just that good.
