I'm surprised and >actually disappointed no body mentioned about us. 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!).
