Yeah, I get that our "A-level" talent ranks somewhere considerably lower in the African alphabet. And I realize USATF has little influence on how our guys and gals plan their races. And of course the World Champs isn't the Olympics.
That said, we have some talent and it surprises me some of that talent doesn't focus like a laser on the Worlds.
It really is amazing that the reserve team includes two 2:05-competitors and the reigning world champ!
I guess the Kenyans have taken it seriously because they known Berlin is a quick course so they could get a fast time.
I know the WC marathon won't involve the stadium, but is it indeed following the regular Berlin course?

"London is now behind me, I will have one more break with my family and then the preparations for World Championships will start. The course is flat and quick and as a runner coming from the track I like it. At the lap course the spectators will be even closer but at the end every runner will be alone against the 42,195m."
Ok, did the world championships defending champion rule get changed when I wasn't looking, or don't I just understand it? I thought Kibet would have had an extra place in the marathon as Osaka champion.
