- Certainly the history of Ethiopian marathoning is more
- illustrious than Kenyan marathoning, at least until Wakiihuru came
- on the scene. My recollection is that 10-15 years ago the
- Ethiopians were dominating the World Cross Country championships the
- way the Kenyans are now. On the track, the overall performance of
- Kenyans has always been somewhat stronger than that of the Ethiopians
- (but the Ethiopian record is much stronger than the American!).
