ALMOST AS TOUGH as the choice for No. 1 man in the 400, the 5000 required a lot of debate, with Hagos Gebrhiwet narrowly edging Jakob Ingebrigtsen, even though the Ethiopian lost a couple of races and the Norwegian was undefeated…
GEBRHIWET HAD A full season with a 1st, 5th and 2nd in the three races with the best depth of candidates: Rome, Olympics and Brussels DLF. Ingebrigtsen, on the other hand, had only one race of significance for the Rankings, his OG gold. And while times are of only minimal importance, Ingebrigtsen was only No. 93 on the yearly list…
WHEN GEBRHIWET made his ratings debut with a No. 6 in ’12, he was at 18 the youngest member; now he’s the oldest at 30 and only a single appearance shy of tying Haile Gebrselassie for the event’s all-time lead.
