Conner is ranked in the 50s going in to Paris, and Clayton is currently ranked in the 60s.

Top 20 finish - 25% chance
Top 10 - 5%
Top 3 - 1%

Where will the Kenyans be? Like they have no real chance for a medal, correct?

I haven’t looked at who is entered, but I see two factors helping them towards a top 5-10 finish.

Two other things Conner and Clayton have going for them.

Most marathoners are more prize money oriented in their training, I suspect. Fewer are medals focused.

I bet most on starting line have some mild injury. Doubt Clayton gets over

Clayton has been pretty forthright about injuries in his docu-series. Hasn’t mentioned his hamstring recently.
