I don't actually think Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot is competing. I think Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot is.

I'd agree with the medallists but I don't think the Ethiopians and Kenyans will pack that well. The Ethiopians don't have a wonderful major champs record and I'm sure there will be a couple of Japanese in the top ten.
